Shopping for an anniversary gift can be hard for anyone. But on this day a young woman decides she wants to attempt to gift her parents with the one thing they have expressed missing, their wedding cake. In a fun- loving story she talks about the importance of this cake and how determined she is to assist her parents in reliving their 25th anniversary the way they did their first. Through the telling of the story and the presence of her mom and dad we see not only how special this moment is for all of the but how much they all love each other. After a full night of failed bakes, taste testing with dad and lots of batter being licked off of the big wooden spoon she thinks she’s done it. In the end, when her mom tastes the cake, it is as wonderful as her memory served it up. However, in the midst of her cake success she shares that truly the most important thing that came out of their marriage was… their wonderful daughter. A reminder that every moment we are presently living in will soon be replaced with the next creating beautiful unforgettable snapshots for us to hold close forever.
Snapshots
I have exactly 4 hours to bake the most perfect cake, clean up, and get prepared for the party. Four hours may seem like a lot to normal people but I am not a normal person and I'm not trying to accomplish any normal cake. I am a woman on a mission, and my mission is very simple; for my parents 25th wedding anniversary I want to replicate their wedding cake. This is who I am, the kind of person that is going to take on a ton of things when I only have time to do 5 or maybe 6. But last night before I went to bed, I called my mom like I always do and she said she was excited about her anniversary today. I asked her what she was most excited about, and she said that every year her and my dad go to the bakery downtown to have a slice of cake, the same kind of cake they got from that bakery 25 years ago. But this year is going to be different, the bakery closed down, people just aren't doing wedding cakes like they used to.
