wrapping it up

I went to the panaderia this morning to buy a birthday cake for Elder Packer, one of our assistants.  They are coming over to set up the transfer board at the house and we are having an informal lunch together ie hamburgers, potato salad, green salad and cake and ice cream, of course. It is a little weird eating summer-y kinds of foods right now when it is so chilly out, but the elders love it.

Anyway, they don’t really box things up here, so here is the unwrapping of the cake.

 

Inside the place bag, are several sheets of paper, about the thickness of present wrapping paper that are used to wrap the cake,

like a present!

including the use of clear tape.

 

Under that layer are various small sheets of something that reminds me of wax paper, except that it isn’t waxed.

 

Under that we have 3 lightweight cardboard bridges protecting the decorations.

 

And finally, the beautiful chocolate mouse cake that truly did make it home, safe and sound, ready for consumption by four wide-eyed elders

as soon as they learned our birthday song,

of course.

It makes me think of the good ol’ days…la, la-lah, la, la, lahhhhh…….
