The Lopsided Christmas Cake (2015)
“Elma said as her sister took out the ingredients for Grandma’s Christmas cake. “We had a busy day at the store, and I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone stay awake long enough to bake a cake.”
“Why don’t you go up to bed, while I bake the cake?” Thelma suggested.
Elma yawned. “Are you sure about that? I wouldn’t feel right about leaving you down here by yourself with that old thing.” She gestured to the woodstove. “Remember what happened the last time we used the oven to do a ...trial run on this cake. Plus, the kitchen took awhile to air out from that burnt smell. If that happens again, we sure couldn’t take a coal-black cake to the cooking show to be auctioned.”
“I’ll be fine,” Thelma said. “I know better than to leave the room while the cake is baking. I’ll sit out here in the kitchen and get some knitting done till the cake is ready to come out of the oven.”
Still feeling a bit hesitant, Elma smiled and said, “Okay. Danki, Sister.”MoreLess
