Our friend Wendy Madsen, a Cheyenne resident who hails from Basin, Wyoming, was excited to make a multi-layered cake for her niece’s birthday.
Like most of us, she was self-distancing (or whatever it’s called) and decided to try something new…
Wendy documented her entire baking experience on Facebook and graciously agreed to let us show it here. We have to admit: this looks great!
Wendy started off with a lot of optimism…
Although that optimism seemed to fade, almost immediately.
But anyone who knows Wendy, knows she isn’t a quitter. She keeps on fighting through all adversity. And there was some adversity to come…
Even when her team abandons her, she keeps on going!
Oh no. We have a metric-system issue going on…
Thankfully, for our pal Wendy, she has good friends who wanted to help…
Again, the optimism faded. And this time it got serious. Bring on the booze…
But even booze didn’t seem to fix this…
Now we’re starting to sense desperation….
And now the audience was starting to chime in…
Where was Wendy’s husband, Mark, during all of this? He became useful at this point, actually…
Are you ready for the grand finale (of the evening)? Wendy was ready to put this project to bed…
We were wondering if the ‘cake’ would make it overnight. We were relieved to see it survived and to see it in natural light…
But it wasn’t long until booze came back into the picture…
But, don’t worry everyone, Wendy’s friend came to the rescue…
And look who made another appearance? Wendy’s husband Mark…
Optimism filled the room again….
We’re not certain what this next slide means. But, at this point, we don’t need to understand it…
And thank God, booze was back in the picture. Yikes!
And now more audience involvement!
This thing is truly a yo-yo of emotions…
Holy cow. It’s starting to look ok….
We’re not sure how this is possible. But it looks great!
All we can say is, it’s a divine miracle…
