>
> Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the
> Baptist Church Ladies' Group in Tuscaloosa , but forgot to do it
until the last minute.
>
> She remembered it the morning of the bake sale and after
> rummaging through cabinets, found an angelfood cake mix &
> quickly made it while drying her hair, dressing, and helping her son
pack for scout camp.
>
> When she took the cake from the oven, the center had dropped flat
>
> and the cake was horribly disfigured and she exclaimed,
>
> "Oh dear, there is not time to bake another cake!"
>
> So, being inventive, she looked around the house
>
> for something to build up the center of the cake.
>
> She found it in the bathroom - a roll of toilet Paper.
>
> She plunked it in and then covered it with icing.
>
> Not only did the finished product look beautiful, it looked perfect.
>
> And, before she left the house to drop the cake by the church and
head for work,
> Alice woke her daughter and gave her some money and specific
> instructions to be at the bake sale the moment itopened at 9:30 and
to buy
> the cake and bring it home.
>
> When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found the attractive,
>
> perfect cake had already been sold.
>
> Amanda grabbed her cell phone and called her mom.
>
> Alice was horrified-she was beside herself! Everyone would know!
>
> What would they think? She would be ostracized,talked about,
ridiculed!
>
> All night, Alice lay awake in bed thinking about people pointing
fingers at her
>
> And talking about her behind her back.
>
> The next day, Alice promised herself she would try not to think
about the cake
>
> And would attend the fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of a
fellow church member
> and try to have a good time. She did not really want to attend
> because the hostess was a snob who more than once had looked down
her
> nose at the fact that Alice was a single parent and not from the
> founding families of Tuscaloosa, but having already RSVP'd, she
> couldn't think of a believable excuse to stay home.
>
> The meal was elegant, the company was definitely upper crust old
south, and to Alice 's horror, the cake in question was presented for dessert!
>
> Alice felt the blood drain from her body when she saw the cake!
>
> She started out of her chair to tell the hostess all about it, but
before she could get to her feet,
> the Mayor's wife said, "what a beautiful cake!"
>
> Alice, still stunned, sat back in her chair when she heard the
hostess
>
> (who was a prominent church member) say,
>
> "Thank you, I baked it myself."
>
> Alice smiled and thought
> to herself,
>
> "God is good."
