Piece ‘o Cake
My early February birthday always comes when there’s little wind left in the sails. A blur of holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year – have taken their toll, another season of dawn to dark days of hunting is at an end and once again the gear has been hoisted to the rafters with a long sigh. There’s frost on the lawn most mornings, and a little more frost at the temples, and spring still seems so far away.
So it was extra nice when Danielle came home the evening of my birthday with a special cake. I don’t know who was more excited about it, me or Danielle! Chocolate cream cattails, tule reed frosting, even the mallard was made of frosting. A birthday cake that didn’t last long, but that I’ll never forget.
My girlfriend Danielle challenged a local bakery to make her duck hunting boyfriend the perfect little cake. They definitely succeeded!
