It was 9:43 p.m. Wednesday night when a barrage of Sigrid family and friends e-mails streamed into my in-box. Luckily, I somehow tripped onto the activity around 11:00! My heart pounded to a big reveal that involved me; my very first emergency wedding cake. There was an elopement in the family and I was charged with the nuptial torte. All the relations were scrambling to get a celebration going for Saturday; two days away! OMG!
My hubby, Juan, had informed me that we were leaving for our Ocala retreat early Friday morning. Yes, time was short! I felt the cardiac knot in my ever gulpping throat!
Talk about ANXIETY. I nervously told her I would try, but
would let her know in the morning as I needed to check on my inventory of baking supplies.
Long story short, it was go and the baking frenzy began at 7:30 a.m. -- and yes, I was done by 1:30! Wheeeew! The pick up was slated for 1:50; finito with twenty minutes to spare.

I kept thinking of the little engine that could, “I think I can,
I think I can…” just like a mantra, I repeated the same words over and over: I think I can, I think I can. And,
I did.
It was hit out of the ballpark and the mess was also out of this world: UGH! )&$%@%^& expletives!
In all, I was on the verge of a mild mannered heart attack. Sigrid and I laughed it off. Thank God for Sigrid, with us today, after a two year battle with Leukemia ..and of course, they have the Wedding Torte and there isn’t anything I
wouldn’t do for her.
You are truly amazing! Thank you so much. The cake was beyond what I expected.
