For mother's day Angela, Danae and I made my mom a German chocolate cake. she loves them...they're a lot of work...so a great Mother's day or birthday treat. We surprised her too! my friend Anna lent us her kitchen. I made the cake, Danae the frosting, and Angela made meringue by hand (she wanted to prove she could do it), and frosted the cake (which was good, cause i wasn't going to try to do the sides...but it sure looked better with them done!).
i love my mom. really, she's amazing. intelligent, beautiful, fun, strong, compassionate, committed, self-less...recently when i look at my hands i see my moms. and this past year there were multiple times when i was talking with my friends and suddenly my mom was in the room...talking through my mouth, or making gestures with my body. it was shocking. i'm not sure how she made it half way around the world to hang out with us like that...but she did. and really, its fine. more than fine. like i said, my mom is amazing...and i don't mind becoming more like her.

The pecans on top look so nice! :)
i'm turning into my mother, too. good thing we have mothers worth turning into. =)
The cake tasted so good and it was surprise which made it all the more fun. I am thankful for the many German Chocolate cakes my mom made for me. Little did I know at the time how much work it was to make the cake from scratch. It is a wonderful memory to know the cakes were a very tangible expression of my mom's love for me and that she valued me.
Thank you so much for my cake this year and the love that went into it.
Love
Mom
