Gifts and A Cake

Linda left to work at the school and Stacey and I headed to Greensburg a little before 10 AM. We drove to Central Furniture and bought two stools and then returned to Columbia, ate at McDonalds and then stopped at the grocery store. We picked up a cake mix and icing to make a cake for Brent. Back at the house, we put away the groceries and set the stuff out for baking the cake. Linda bought two cake pans and brought those home after school. We pre-heated the oven and I helped Stacey get the cake started. She did the mixing, floured the pans, poured the batter in the pans, and popped them in the oven. I set the timer on the microwave and when it went off, Stacey removed the pans and let them cool on the counter.
   
 
Once they had cooled, Linda showed Stacey how to put the icing on the cake. We cleaned up the cake plate and the kitchen and put the cover over the cake.
   
Stacey was proud of the cake she had baked, and knew Brent would like it! I teased her by saying that I would get up in the night for a snack and eat a piece of the cake. She warned me I had better not!
