THE BAPTIST WHITE LIE CAKE


Have you ever told a white lie?

You are going to love this, especially all of the ladies who

bake for church events:


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 angel food cake mix & quickly made it while

drying her hair, dressing,

and helping her son pack up 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!"

This cake was important to Alice because she did so want to

fit in at her new church,

and in her new community of friends. 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 it opened 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 & 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.”

Funny, I've heard that one!

I would have liked being around seeing that face when the cake was cut!
