Reply to comment by Whatwillwebe in LPT: When bringing a dessert to a function, cut a small slice off before you put it out. by arkobsessed

Long ago, I was preschool aged and my Mom made a cake from scratch with scratch frosting. She let me work with her on the decorations. It was delicious looking. We took the cake to school and then went to a school presentation that my older brother was in. When we were sitting down, I noticed Mom didn't have the cake!

She then told me she made the cake to donate it to a bake sale at the school. I was greatly disappointed, because I thought for sure that we would eat the cake. I saw a family leaving with "my" cake, and I was making stern eye contact with them.

I think of that cake whenever I see gold dragees.

When we make a dish, esp a dessert to take somewhere I always make two and leave one at home. That way the family that helped make it, smelled it cooking and/ or cleaned up the kitchen also get to enjoy it

Yes, I understand this. I frequently do the same for our house. I have a rotation of specialty meals and treats, and goodness gracious, there is mayhem and revolution if I don't have some for the home team. :)
