THE BAKE SALE

[morningstar]

Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the
Baptist Church Ladies' Group bake sale in Tuscaloosa,
but she Forgot about it until the last Minute.

She remembered it the morning of the bake sale and
After rummaging through cabinets she found an Angel
Food cake mix and quickly made it. While drying her
Hair and dressing and helping her son Bryan pack up
For Scout camp. But, when Alice took the cake from the
Oven, the center had dropped flat and the cake was
Horribly disfigured. She said,
"Oh dear, there's no Time bake another cake."

This cake was so important to Alice because she did so
Want to fit in at her new church, and in her new
Community of new friends.

So, being inventive, she looked around the house for
Something to build up the center of the cake Alice
Found it in the bathroom, a roll of toilet paper She
Plunked it in and then covered it with icing Not only
Did the finished product look beautiful, it looked
Perfect!

Before she left the house to drop the cake by the
Church and head for work, Alice woke her daughter
Amanda and gave her some money and specific
Instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it
Opened at 9:30, and to buy this cake and bring it home.

When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found that
The attractive, perfect cake had already been sold!
Amanda grabbed her cell phone and called her mother.

Alice was horrified. She was beside herself
Everyone would know! What would they think of her?
She would be ostracized, talked about, ridiculed.

That night Alice was laying awake in bed thinking
About people pointing their fingers at her and talking
About her behind her back.

The next day Alice promised herself that she would
Try not to think about the cake and she would attend
The fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of a
Friend of a friend and try to have a good time there.

She did not really want to attend because the hostess
Was a real snob who more than once had looked down
Her nose at Alice because Alice was a single parent
And not from one of the founding families of
Tuscaloosa.

Having already RSVP'd she could not think of a
Believable excuse to stay away. The meal was elegant,
The company was definitely upper crust Old South...To
Alice's horror, the cake in question was presented
For dessert!

Alice felt the blood drain from her body when she saw
It being brought in. She started out of her chair to
Rush to the hostess and tell her all about it, but
Before she could get to her feet, the Mayor's wife
Said, "What a beautiful cake!"

"Thank you", said the snobby hostess,
"I baked it Myself!"

Alice sat back and smiled, "GOD IS GOOD"
