How to raise $225

First, bake a cake.

A chocolate cake.

Let your toddler lick the batter.

Add fresh cut strawberries smothered in goo (glaze).


Place second layer of cake on top.


Cover and chill for the night.

Call sister in law twice to ask about the frosting. It's a new recipe, and I hadn't made it yet. It's delicious, but be prepared to listen to your kitchen-aid's motor for a minimum of 45 minutes straight.

Let your toddler lick the whisk.

Add fresh cut and pureed strawberries.


Frost cake.


Run to the store last minute because you forgot to leave a few strawberries out for a garnish on top. Add strawberries, but forget to take a picture.

Deliver cake to Young Women's fundraiser dinner.

Prepare and serve 100+ people dinner, help clean the kitchen, feed your toddler actual food to go with all of the sugar, feed your 3 month old baby who has been passed around to multiple people all night.

Have your husband run the auction (there were several $100 cakes) and have two people out bid each other until it reaches $225.

Rush home and put your kids to bed. (More specifically, run home, switch cars because husband couldn't find his keys and walked the kids in the stroller to the church, come back, load kids in car, and then get them in bed. Although, Kate is being difficult and keeps waking up.)

Eat dinner.
