I love to tease Terry, the grandpa to be. When I got to the shower, he was talking to his son. Dressed in a nice shirt, jeans, and a belt with a huge buckle, the conversation went like this:
Jason (his son) Nice belt buckle Dad.
Me: Yes, I always admire a man who has the courage to wear a belt buckle bigger than his brain! (keep in mind hear, we banter back and forth like this)
Later while sitting on the couch with momma to be Stephanie, I see Terry coming across the room with a huge grin on his face. Walking right for me, I knew it wasn't good!
Terry: Beautiful cake Laurie, who did the wording?
Me: I did! Why?
Terry: Because it's always nice to welome a new baby.
Me: What are you talking about?
Terry: You left out the c. My brain may be smaller than my belt buckle, but at least it knows how to spell!
Terry, 1, me, 0!

And such a pretty cake it is too! Love carrot cake.
What a beautiful cake! At least you did for friends and they can laugh about it!
Dang!! That happened to me in my journal the other day. I was copying a little verse into the journal that said "when witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, 'tis near Halloween". Unfortunately I left out the word cats!!!!! Thank God that it wasn't at a baby shower like yours. That comes from working too closely on your writing I think. Diane
Chuckling here!! Yes good bantering fun friends are the best!
Pretty cake none the less for missing the 'c'!
Well first off that is a beautiful cake, perfect for the new babe. You don't know how many projects through the years that I have spent hours or days on only to find out I did something simple like this. My spelling off! Its all so close together and seems to perfectly fit I would never have found this either. I love the bantering you two do. Better luck next time! Hugs, Pearl
Haha - that is totally something I would do - I'm a really bad speller. Oh well, I'm sure the cake was yummy! It sure is pretty!

Hi Laurie! That cake was delicious! And for what it's worth, I was so awestruck by the animal detail, I didn't notice the missing c :) It was nice to meet you this past weekend!
Oh that takes the cake! (Sorry couldn't help myself). Your cake was gorgeous c or no c.
