Anyhoo.. you certainly are showing your Daring colors - 3 times is a valiant effort, sweetie! <BR/><BR/>Also.. whatever market you go to.. I'm blow away at how they display their berries.. that photo is gorgeous! The stores here, toss a bunch into a cardboard basket or a plastic box and you have to search through them to make sure the berries underneath aren't squished. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the next try if you find the time.. not even for DB's sake, but for your own sanity I hope it turns out okay! hehe<BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxoLishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631520734280170415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-47981679541022437172008-05-29T19:23:00.000-07:002008-05-29T19:23:00.000-07:00Oh man, I hate to hear that you had so much troubl...Oh man, I hate to hear that you had so much trouble with your cake.

I'm glad your day was followed by yummy strawberries. And those lovely cherry bits from the 29th. :) Yum.Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711969146276630261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-22598763173659125792008-05-29T05:58:00.000-07:002008-05-29T05:58:00.000-07:00Oh I am so sorry!
