The Cake and 63

I made this cake last weekend.
I had seen it on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to try out.
We were supposed to have company last weekend, but plans changed.
I made the cake anyway.
I used a lemon cake mix, lemon filling and white frosting.
It was fun to make.
It's been fun to eat.
We like to call it the "toothache" cake!
 
 
I had planned to take the cake to town on Sunday to share with my parents who were celebrating their 63rd wedding anniversary!
But the cake is not one that will travel well!
So the cake stayed home and I picked up a pie to share with them instead.
We had a wonderful dinner with them on Sunday.
My husband grilled some amazing ribs, which happen to be my dads favorite meal.
The wine flowed freely. Some really good wine too!
I got a bit carried away during a conversation and broke a wine glass. Oops and Ouch!  
 
Dad picked up an orchid and some hand dipped chocolates to give to mom for their anniversary.
 When he went in to pick out the candy, he told the gal that he thought 63 pieces might be a bit much.
She asked why he would need so many pieces as that was a lot of candy.
He said, well it's also a lot of years to be married too!
Too cute!
