Baked a cake!! I figured it would be a nice treat after all the work I've done this past week and getting the first delivery of stock done for the drug store today!
I've been working on swag bags tonight. One set is the the Anniversary Sale at the boutique in Baton Rouge on Saturday and due for delivery on Wednesday. This set is all done and something donated for the big gift bag for grand prize winner.
And the other is for the store here in my hometown for their Grand Opening on Thursday, Friday and Saturday! I will probably bring them early on Thursday because I still need to finish that batch.
Back to the cake!! I made a German Chocolate cake from a box mix and used pre-made frosting. That was the creamy ooy gooey coconut frosting with pecan chips in it.
The cake turned out good and flew out of the pan when I turned it upside down after cooling. I have to give that credit to my Gotham Steel bakeware. I love that stuff!
I enjoyed a piece of cake with a cup of coffee and that was just what I needed to get back on track. I am about to call it a night now and get ready for bed. We are pushing 11 pm here and I have to get up early in the morning to feed all the animals before I leave for Baton Rouge.
Did you have a snack tonight? And if so, what did you have? I bet it was healthier than my piece of cake!!

Damn that sounds good,
but I can't eat that rich stuff
cause it blows my sugar sky high & I'd never get it back down again.
So have a few for me while your at it & tell me just how good it is.

@2ndchances24 Yep, it was a treat. And those are few and far between these days. I worked hard to get some weight off and off some of my blood pressure medicine. I don't want to go backwards on either one!

@kareng HA HA HA yeah buddy, them kind of sweets can
put some lbs on you faster than you want, believe me &
hard to get off I know, I was 200 lbs & couldn't for the life
of me get it off till I landed in the hosp for 6 mons that just
about killed me twice cause of my gall bladder & pancreas
that failed me & I came out only a 145 lbs & no gall bladder
& a messed up pancreas from it, so be careful eating sweets.

@kareng I actually did not care for it much. It had a fake strawberry flavor.
