Robert's Birthday and Cake

Robert's birthday was April 9. Since Gabby was so worried about having a party, I told her we could get a cake. We mailed him some cookies and other goodies. I was kind of tired that day and we were in Costco so I just let her pick out a cake there instead of making another stop at Wal-Mart. This is the cake she picked out. Of course it was huge since it came from Costco. Really too much for the three of us, but sometimes you just do what you have to do.
This is the first cake I have ever bought from Costco and I have to say it was good. This was a white cake with a whipped chocolate layer in the middle. Yummy. My big complaint is the box they sell it in has no reusable option. No top that opens and then closes back over it. Just wrapped in plastic, which you have to pull off. Then you are stuck with no way to store the cake. This was complicated by my irritating side-by-side fridge. I had to cut the cake in half and put one half in my Tupperware cake taker. The other half I wrapped the box around and enclosed in foil. So now this cake took up two whole shelves of my fridge. Every time I opened the door, something fell out on me. We worked on that cake lunch and dinner for a long time! Now we get another cake for Sam's birthday on the 1st! We'll be caked out.
