And ... it's off!



UPDATE: It has arrived successfully intact after 1415 miles of overnight travel-by-air. Yippee!!!

Off on the FedEx plane, that is. Winging its way to New Jersey, to be transported by wheels to NYC on Sunday. I'm much more calmed down about it all now. The cake seemed to "settle into shape" quite nicely as the afternoon wore on. I don't know what it is ... some kind of odd maturing process or something that a cake has to go through after I finish it, before I like what I'm seeing.

Please pray to the Cake Gods that the FedEx Fairies do their job especially well and this masterpiece arrives none the worse for wear. Thank you.

Now, who's fixing my dinner?
