The Church White Lie Cake.......

This has been around before but when a friend sent it to me today, it was just as funny as the first time I read it.....True or not, it is hilarious......
>
> THE CHURCH 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."
