Joy made a cake for us this evening. She's going to be in the Cake division this
year in 4-H, and had originally asked to make cookies, but Jay and Sarah had
both made cookies earlier this week and so I suggested she try her hand at a
cake. It tasted good, but it was the UGLIEST cake I'd ever seen. She decided,
for some strange reason, to put green food coloring in the chocolate frosting.
It looked really, really gross. I wasn't even sure I could bring myself to eat
it.
Once I cut it, though, and saw the brown chocolate cake contrasted
against the green-brown icing, it almost reminded me of an army green, and so I
was able to convince myself that it was edible. We were teasing Joy that she
should enter the Cake Decorating project and submit an army-themed cake. She
could put little plastic army men on it and write "Happy Deployment" on it or
something.
