I agree sheet cake is the way to go - I've seen that cake done that way and its just as good, not as pretty but more efficient for feeding multiple people with it. Easier to transport as well.

Hey, I hear Jamie Southards makes a "mean" pasta salad. Maybe we could talk her into making one for us. (Inside Joke) Sorry, Jamie, I couldn't resist.

Thanks Hillarey! LOL! Tim will be the first one in line for it too!!! I know he will want seconds,,, so I better make extra!!!

We have one eclair cake complete and two of the three layers of the Strawberry dessert complete - one more to go. We just turned on our air conditioner today (believe it or not) and it's taking a while for the house to cool down, I'm freaking hot as heck. Glad I picked minimal oven required desserts.

Anyhoo, I've got to hear the "mean" pasta salad story. Sounds interesting...

Jamie made some pasta salad at Kinston a couple of years ago, and lets just say it didn't turn out so well. I am pretty sure she ended up throwing it away it was so bad. Just giving her a hard time. =) In her defense it was one of those pasta salad kits. Oh, and one Hershey Bar cake ready to go, and I didn't even burn it.

Angela Macy · 06-06-2008, 07:13 AM

OH those kits are nasty - I made one before and wasn't impressed at all - all the veggies in there are like freeze dried or something.

I also managed to complete two desserts without any major disasters. I remember the first time I made the strawberry dessert one I ended up messing it up bad and had to start all over.

Dear Angela,

Thank you very much for the eclair and strawberry cakes at the track Friday. Everybody I talked to, (who found them behind the tea dispenser), loved them! Too bad there wasn't more to go around. I heard Beard hung around for seconds then licked the pans clean when the last pieces were gone!

We'll have to talk to Hillarey about the Hersey cake. She was busy making time runs so maybe she still has it hidden at the trailer! (Unless Beard got to it and didn't tell anyone!)

...and thank you for the good food Herbie! That was appreciated too!

Angela Macy · 06-07-2008, 07:25 AM

Dear Myron,

You're very welcome and I'm glad you found them and got some. I didn't hang around to watch 10,000 people fight over two cakes.

I was afraid for my own safety - ha ha. I hear Hillarey's cake is being hoarded in her motorhome, maybe if you ask nicely.....

Good luck today

lol Yea, Scott needs to keep an eye on you because you might get kidnapped for your baking/cooking skills!

As a matter of fact, I went to Hillarey's trailer looking for her cake. Sure enough, it was there. They started on it, but there was plenty left. She even delivered it to our pit because she was afraid I wouldn't have made it there on my bike without dropping them. (She was probably figuring Mike wouldn't get his share if I left with both!

)

Ya know, all those cakes were so good, it was really hard to decide which one was better than the other. You all will have to make some more for the next Pro Am we all attend so we can figure that out!

Only problem is, I have to decide if I want another piece of cake, or if I want to "beat" her first round!

Angela Macy · 06-08-2008, 09:13 AM

No worries on kidnapping, ask Michael Beard about the freaks and geeks who follow me around in Walmart. They get the scare of their life

Seriously though, if I got kidnapped they'd return me and beg Scott to take me back

So who won the combo race last night? We were out 2nd round and dying from the heat - we came home and chilled out in the ac.

P.S. - Hillarey's cake was very yummy in my tummy
