Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!!   This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
 
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
 
Walmart Employee:   "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee:  "What you want on the cake?"
Customer:  "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."

I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday.  Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger?  what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc.  I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.

THanks for your help!

about makes me upchuck every time I see it.  I am extremely grateful the political "commercials" are over though.  Those were starting to wear on me and give me the same GI reaction.  Really, really like the one for Hallmark with the mom trying to teach the little guy to say Merry Christmas for the audio card.

I bake and take a coffee cake to brunches or friends that is so simple and you can do a recipe search for Heath Bar Coffee Cake.  I use the powdered buttermilk in the recipe and works just fine.  Not complicated at all and SO good. 

the cake sounds like so much fun.  She is going to be so excited.  I wish Cupid and I could celebrate with you and Tyne!  How cool is that to have that doggie shop next to you!  I want to move where you are!  We used to have one at the mall before I moved here in Ohio but they closed it.  How did she get so spoiled?  I asked myself that all the time about Cupid!  LOL!  She is lucky to have someone like you! 

Are you okay now?  Did the guy get the bat?  I know exactly how you feel!  I was living in NC a few years back and one night a bat flew out of nowhere through the room and Cupid and Lexi (my exboyfriend's dog) booked out of there!  Luckily he came home a few minutes after and he did not believe me that there was a bat in the house,and then he went in and said oh wow, there is a bat!  he tended to take what I said in one ear and out the other!  Let me know how you do!  Was Tyne there while you were gone?

1 can pie filling

1 can crushed pineapple

1 yellow cake mix (dry)

1 cup chopped nuts

2 sticks butter, melted

Spread pie filling in 11/13 pan.  Pour pineapple on top and spread.  Take dry cake mix and spread over pineapple.  Top with nuts and coconut if desired.  Pour 2 sticks melted butter on top of all of this.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

This is scrumptious.

Can I substitute melted margarine for the oil?  I don't have any applesauce.  I do have some Miracle Whip, but wasn't sure about it.  I don't want to go to the grocery store.  I'm at home alone, kids are gone, I'm working and feeling pretty productive, and then BAM the PMS chocolate attack strikes and and me without a Hershey bar in sight!  So I thought I would whip up a devil's food cake mix and get back to work. 

This is fairly easy to make.  Some people just make a regular yellow cake from the box, ie. Betty Crocker or Haines.  I like more the homemade taste.

Cream Cake (Tres Leches)

Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients:

The Cake:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose pour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

The Cream Filling:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

The Frosting:
1 cup whipping cream

Method:

The Cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites unti1 fluffy. Add the sugar gradually and mix well. Blend in the egg yolks, one at a time. Alternately blend in the milk, flour, and baking powder. Add the vanilla and blend well. Pour into a greased, square baking pan, and bake 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and pierce it with a fork, making little holes evenly over the surface. Set aside to cool.

The Cream Filling:
In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly pour the mixture over the top of the cake.

The Frosting:
Beat whipping cream until stiff. Spread over cake.

Put in the frig and serve cold.   Some people do add liquor to taste, such as brandy or rum.

Hang in there.  It sounds to like you are doing everything right.  I totally agree that kids are under too much pressure these days and that they certainly need to be given more time to just be kids.  Being a single mom I try make sure that my children grow up to be responsible adults with good morals and values, but I also make sure that they have their space so they have a chance to make their own choices (when possible) and see the consequences of those choices.  Being a parent is certainly not easy and doing it in today's society is stressful to say the least. 

As for your neighbor, I think she could take some lessons from you.  Good luck and keep your chin up!!!
