Today is my cousin's birthday! We're all having dinner with my uncle's family, and it wouldn't be complete without a delicious cake. Every year, Mom's the one who brings the cake, and it's always a highlight. This year, she offered to bake one from scratch, which is sweet of her. But, no! I still have memories of her memorable chocolate mousse incident. So, with a gentle nudge in the right direction, I convinced her to stick with her original plan - buying one. This way, we can all focus on celebrating my cousin and avoid any potential cake-situation.
