I am reading this book. It’s a very popular book and I feel compelled to write a review of it for my blog. That will come in a few days when I have fully finished and absorbed this book for all the author’s intent.
In the meantime, let me tell you about this lovely cake I have made for you. One look at it and I am sure you can tell that it is a fabulous cake. I can assure you that it tastes just as good, if not- better, than it looks. I have included in this cake all the proper ingredients. More than just proper, the best.
The eggs are from free range hens that are read bedtime stories to every night to make the eggs extra fluffy and wonderful.
The sugar comes from hand selected sugar cane from fields in Guatemala, where the best sugar cane is grown.
Don’t even get me started on what makes makes the flour so great. The wheat was actually crushed in a mill owned by a one legged missionary who prays over each grain.
This, friends, is a cake most perfect. Moist and buttery. Melt in your mouth. Perfect.
There’s just one thing I added. It’s a small thing. You likely won’t even notice, but I feel it only fair that you know.
Just before I put the cake in the oven , I added the tiniest sprinkle of Anthrax.
Don’t get all up in arms about it. Remember the eggs? And the sugar? This is a perfect cake where no corners were cut in making it as wonderful as possible. The Anthrax doesn’t take away from how great it tastes. If you are one to favor sweets over healthy food already, you likely won’t even notice.
So, sit back. Tuck your napkin under your chin and get ready to open wide for a big bite of my perfect cake.
And I’ll be back real soon with my review of “The Shack”.

well, it’s a good thing I talked to you yesterday and have an inkling of where you’re going with the Anthrax-laced most perfect (except for that darn Anthrax that will kill you) cake.
glad to see you’re back blogging and that is an impressively gorgeous cake!

Thanks for the warning about the Antrax but just a little bit can’t be that bad, can it?
I FEEL like it would okay to eat it.
Everybody else is having a piece.
At least I’m eating something, right? I mean the eggs are good for me and…

It is impressive, isn’t it, Cat? I found that picture on Google. My cakes look only slightly different.
I love you, Lauren Spelled Right.

So not up for the anthrax, but looking forward to the review. I enjoyed that book, and hope you did too.

Wow. That’s a pretty cake.
I think I’ll just eat one piece. And share the rest with my friends. I think they should be able to enjoy the beautiful perfection that is the icing.

It reminds me a little too much of 9-5. The cake analogy- not the book.

I think I might know where you’re going with this anthrax thing…. but I’ll wait and see.
After hearing all this buzz about “The Shack”, I had to go to the local library and pick up my own copy. So now when you talk about it, I’ll know what you’re talking about.
