CHEAT, CHEAT, NO MORE!
wHOA. I had been planning on my daughters baby shower (which was yesterday) for over a month. This was the day that I was gonna go off my keto diet. Well, I didn’t get a mimosa (we went through 10 bottles of champagne. the lushes.lol) I stuck to beer. The food came out (buffet style) we had chicken alfredo, panini sandwiches (chicken pesto, and rubens) caesar salad, homemade raspberry cheesecake (melt in your mouth goodness) and THE UGLIEST CAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! I went to VG’s ’cause it’s close to my ex’s restaurant (where the shower was held). They’re known for decent cakes. Anyway about a month ago I went in to order it. I picked out a really cute one from they’re booklet of cakes. I tweaked just a coupla things on it to my specifications. They had these really gaudy stripes on it…looked like a friggin carnival. Yuck! Hate clowns! So I wanted to change those stripes to very subtle pastel pink and spring green. The lady says "absolutely not a problem". Then I added a white mousse filling, check, and black lettering tailored to be written at the very top of the cake horizontally. Well..not so much…little Adelaides name was written in a very ugly purple down the center of the cake. The stripes on the cake were hot pink, orange and purple….pastel?….I beg to differ. Well…..let’s just say I got the cake half off. I only paid $15 for it. It was ugly and everyone had a good laugh over it and it tasted "delish!". The shower was a monster success. I swear nobody wanted to leave. People were still sitting at their tables even while we had already loaded up our vehicles. It was fun.. But…the best part was and is….I really didn’t enjoy going "off" my diet. The food didn’t taste so good that I wanted to do it again today. Ya know? I think I’m going to enjoy staying "on" my diet a whole lot more. Bye for now! Ellen
