I was asked by a friend of my family to create a cake for her "staff" at the VA Nursing home she runs. She said that they have a staff meeting once a month and if she likes my cake she will use me every month from here on out! Her request for this month was a peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting. At first I was a little taken back because I was thinking it was going to be a lot of peanut butter!! I didn't want to overload them on the first cake I made for them but that was her request so I was going to try and make it taste great! I made my simple basic white cake and added peanut butter to it. The taste wasn't too strong and I was happy about that since my peanut butter frosting is very peanut buttery! So here it is...it wasn't my best looking cake because I was on a severe time crunch (she gave me the info about 24 hours in advance), so I made do with what she told me...it was Purple Heart month and a lady was retiring so I wrote "Happy Retirement."
**Received a voicemail from her today and she said for the first time ever there was no leftover cake! She said everyone went crazy over it! Her words were that everyone thought it wasn't too sweet and it was the perfect balance of flavors! She said she would be using me for sure every month! Woohoo!! I seriously think there is nothing better than positive feedback!!**
