| Birthday cake by Debbie Bridges. |
Debbie Wilson Bridges is known for her famous cakes, and I finally had an opportunity to savor one. Oh soooo good. Debbie is my second cousin, once removed. (Debbie's grandfather and my father were first cousins, so Shelva, Debbie's mother and I are second cousins, and that makes Debbie my second cousin, once removed, if I remember the genealogy correctly.)
Dan and I were planning a trip to Cleveland County to coincide with my friend, Peggy Rhyne's birthday, so I asked Debbie to make a birthday cake for PJ, and while she was at it, to make another one for Dan and me to bring home.
Both cakes were a delicious, moist pound cake with chocolate fudge frosting.

Peggy Rhyne enjoyed her cake and later shared it with some of our former classmates at a luncheon. Rave reviews from all!!!!!

The cake that Dan and I brought home was frosted with chocolate fudge frosting and topped with pecans. It was half gone before we even got home with it, with a little help from friends and family.

| Only half of our cake left when we got home. |
A wonder if Debbie made her own wedding cake????

When the cakes were delivered, Debbie sent along a beautiful crocheted doily for me. Not only can she bake, but she creates lovely crocheted things. The doily has found a new home on the little round side table in our dining room.

Debbie the cakes were beautiful and delicious and the doily is exquisite. Thank you O Talented Cousin of Mine!
You are too kind Pat.
ReplyDeleteDid you make your wedding cake?
DeleteNo ... I would have been crazy! I tried to make my sister Deedee's wedding cake, but it was a disaster .... had to regroup at the last minute and make a normal sized cake. :)
