At this point, I won't plan on it! Love your coffee frosting and pretty photo of your cake.

I can understand how WC Fields (and Lionel Barrymore!) felt about child actors.<br /><br />It is a bit astounding how jealous some women can be about cooking and baking. Seriously--I just followed some instructions. No big deal, right? Thankfully, most of my friends are just happy to get some cake!Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747432130041051386.post-6824652865677207432012-03-07T13:49:21.578-06:002012-03-07T13:49:21.578-06:00Chocolate cake has astounding recuperative propert...Chocolate cake has astounding recuperative properties.Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747432130041051386.post-20191074975700566282012-03-07T13:48:09.700-06:002012-03-07T13:48:09.700-06:00I will admit I see the appeal of the boots with al...I will admit I see the appeal of the boots with all those little buttons.

I admit I was disappointed with the movie when I finally saw it but I am a book lover and so many films made out of books do not live up to the movie in my head.

I have NEVER seen a Shirley Temple movie and now I've read this I may keep it that way. One of the things that really makes me laugh is WC Fields being mean to children so I have a spider sense that I'd feel the same as you Lya de Puttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814399884635533546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747432130041051386.post-22341639223629443712012-03-06T12:32:18.608-06:002012-03-06T12:32:18.608-06:00Poor Shirley!

My grandpar...haha! Oh, you're not a fan, eh? ;)<br />My grandparents bought my this movie when I was really little and I probably watched it roughly 5,000 times. Give or take ;) I dont know why, but I was always enthralled by those black button shoes with all those buttons. And her clothes! And dolls! When she was a rich kid, that is ;)<br /><br />This cake sounds so good, I love anything with coffee in Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162985502341523594noreply@blogger.com
