Cake

So I’m back home in Champaign. My best friend from high school is getting married today, and my Mom is going to host some sort of after party tonight where between 30-60 people may or may not show up. I’m worried that Mom will want to keep the future Mr. Tangognat, as so far he has cleaned up the patio, shed, and driveway. He has fried won-tons, marinated steak, and made marinated mushroom hors d’oeuvres. He has painted parts of the front door yellow and raked gravel and pulled weeds.
I think I’ve gotten off lightly, as I have only made cookies, arranged flowers, pulled off painter’s tape, ran errands, and consulted about interior design.

The future Mr. Tangognat and I visited the place where we’re thinking of having the wedding, and liked it. I’ll post some pictures later. We also tried out some samples of wedding cake. Weirdly enough, both the future Mr. Tangognat and my step-father are both fixated on German Chocolate Cake, which I think is too heavy for a June wedding. So we are thinking of having a very small German chocolate cake, another small not as heavy chocolate cake, and a large citrus berry cake which is topped by white chocolate (this was very light and yummy and I thought it would be refreshing for the people who are eating cake outside next June).
