Christmas Tree Cakes

This season is my absolute favorite! I always knew we were close to Christmas because Zee's (the eating place at CBC -Central Bible College) would get CHRISTMAS TREE CAKES! My brother and great friend Kimberly and I would argue back and forth about how CHRISTMAS TREE CAKES were the absolute best of the Little Debbie
cakes. Landen insisted they were no different than any of the other cakes...especially the Zebra Cakes. He said they were just in a different shape. Kimberly and I took the position that were different than Zebra Cakes...they were in a different shape but they included sprinkles and a different kind of frosting...they were just better and made the season absolutely GLORIOUS!

For Christmas Landen bought Zebra Cakes, a Christmas Tree cookie cutter and Red Sprinkles and packaged them together and gave them to us, "Here, now you girls can have your Christmas Tree Cakes!"

We always laughed about that and teasingly argued about the Christmas Tree Cakes vs. Zebra Cakes.

This picture was taken during my visit to Albany a couple of December's ago. It was blizzarding so I couldn't make my flight in Boston to fly home so Landen and I walked to the church for the Internet to look for a ticket to purchase for the next morning out of Albany. I wish I would have just taken the hint that God must have wanted me to stay with Landen longer. I could have called into work and said I was no going to make it in because of the weather. He had the whole next day off and it was bad weather in Minneapolis as well...O well...what has been done is done...but that and not making it home for our last Christmas together are my only regrets. Anyway...on our way back we stopped at a grocery store to pick up some snacks! My brother loved snacks!!! Amidst the cheese, crackers, sausage, pickles, coca cola/dr.pepper, and sugar cookies were CHRISTMAS TREE CAKES!
