Did you know?

As the mother of twins you often end up with two of everything. Usually not a problem because you need two of everything. In our house it ends up being two different colors of the same thing because the girls have completely different taste in everything.

This birthday was no exception except for the flavor of the cake. One usually likes vanilla and the other chocolate. This works out great this way we have cake for everyone. Not this year. Both wanted vanilla cake but different designs. So I ended up with two yep two vanilla cakes. Did you know that your local food shelter will take this? I thought it had to be unopened goods. But nope even though the cake had candles and had been blown out they still took the cake. This made me feel so much better than to throw an uneated (an expensive) cake in the trash. I am sure not all places are like this but it is worth looking into before you throw away food that others could benefit from.

Maybe you could just make a large cake for the guests- in honor of the girls birthday and then make EACH of them a little (like a big muffin size) cake to put a candle on...

Proud of ya for not trashing it!!
We have to think about Mother Earth... she cares!
