<-------- Ace of Cakes

          Ace of dogs ----->

Yesterday, via the comments section on this blog, a note was left that was intended not for me, or my dog Ace, but for the Ace of Cakes, the Food Network TV show featuring Baltimore baker Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.

"I would like to know how to get you guys to make a cake for my mom's birthday in August," a girl named Kisha wrote.

 "For the past 5 years every year on her birthday someone in our family dies. She watches your show all the time and loves it so if you guys can help me to do this for her I would love it. Thank you, Kisha."

Sorry, Kisha, wrong Ace. But fear not, I have forwarded your note to Charm City Cakes.

Apparently Kisha did a Google search on Ace of Cakes, then clicked on one of my blog entries, titled Ace of Cakes, which recounted how Ace had lapped off the icing from one side of my 54th birthday cake.

Kisha, it appears, went straight to the comment button and sent in her request without reading the entry, which I don't think is all that uncommon when one gets in Internet hurry-up-and-find-it mode.

So Kisha gets a C for reading, but an A for being a thoughtful daughter. It is after all only March, and she's already trying to plan her mother's August birthday.

Here's hoping Kisha gets her cake, and her mother has a happy birthday.
