Dad had been mentioning a fish shaped cake my grandma used to make him when he was little. So I thought - OH - I should make him a fish shaped cake! So I searched high and low (about 6 hours before we were set to head out to my parents house) and called here and there looking for a fish shaped cake pan... alas I could not find one. My aunt had the great idea of buying a football shaped pan and then baking a separate regular cake and creating my own fish. That was the plan.
So out to my parents we went and I was planning on putting the cake together after Dad went to bed. Apparently I did not hear the WHOLE story about Grandma's fish cake... I missed the part where Dad said that they actually had the ACTUAL mold she used... I saw it as soon as we walked in the door and about lost it! I think my head was full of many of these %$&^&%*&#@ types of words. GRRRR! Oh well!
So I did put the cake together and wow did it have a lot of character.... it was pretty disastrous. Oh well - it is the thought that counts! I wrote him a nice note for him to find the next day and hopefully next year I'll actually get my act together and make him the ACTUAL fish cake. Thankfully - it still tasted good!
