I have a friend that is a terrible cook by her own admission. It doesn't stop her from cooking though. She had a dinner party last night and served quinoa meatballs that she said were horrible. She tried them in advance, said they were awful and she served them anyway. Go figure! Glad I wasn't invited. So, I baked her a cake to serve for dessert. Dessert saves many bad dinner parties! As you can see I need a lot of cake decorating practice so I jumped at the opportunity!

I'm having a big family Easter here this year. Teddy will have to stay in the kitchen and no one will be allowed to do dishes! I have an idea for how I want to decorate the table so I've been hitting thrift stores a lot. I found this German bakelite rabbit in perfect shape for 99 cents!
I got a set of 8 of these yellow depression glass dinner plates for 2.00 each. Quite a deal!
And a perfect pink cake plate for the same price.
This vasoline glass cake plate was only 2.99. They are all perfect for Easter though I'll probably set the table with my French flow blue.
Here are some of the vintage pieces I picked up. I'll post a pic when I've finished the table. That yellow pot on the left is a vintage McCoy piece that was 79 cents!

That blueberry and goat cheese pies would be nice to have here this warm spring afternoon :-)
Have a great day!

If I served something I thought was awful, I would say so when serving and excuse guests from taking any or eating them if they disliked them. However, I would make something else to fill in.
You could give me that cake and I would love the decorations on it. For years I have wanted to try cake decorating but it seems like a fattening avocation or vocation, at least the way I would operate.
Now....I want to go to that thrift store! NOW!! lol
