Cake Scare!

It was Bridal Shower Day!! (March 20th) A lot to get done, with decorating to getting the food ready. Thank goodness we had help from our wonderful family. (Tia Anna, Annie, Victoria, Mom, Jessica (the Bride), Dad, and myself.) Without them, we wouldn't have gotten it done in time. If you are reading this you guys, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help! I, from the bottom of my heart, really appreciate it.

Back to the Cake.

We told the baker that we would go at 2:00 p.m. to go pick it up in McAllen (about 25 minutes away). And as always we were running late, especially since i had to take my cousin with me to help watch the cake on the way. But it was ok, since i called in telling them we were running late. All was well. So we made our way to "Sweet & Tasty #2." The drive over there was fine, it was the taking off that was scary. So as Annie got settled in the backseat, and with help from the baker placing the cake in the van, it was time to take off. I got into the driver seat, turned the key in the ignition, and nothing. The van didn't turn on. So by then i was freaking out! SERIOUSLY! I dialed my Dad, telling him the news. After a minute i realized that the van said it was in "Reverse," so i moved it to park. Waited a while then tried it again, and YES it worked! I was so happy that i was hugging the stirring wheel, really.

But the drive back was nerve racking! Hello, trying to not make a sharp turn, or a rough stop! As Annie said it was like having a baby in the van. We got into town ok, until the last late before we got home. I was going kinda fast, and it suddenly turned yellow. I knew i wasn't gonna make it. So i had to make a sudden stop. And seriously all you could hear was Annie and I, whining, afraid for the cake. But we made it alive and in one piece.

The cake tasted awesome! And most of it was gone! Not really sure if I'm happy or sad about that. LOL
