Today's cake finds were a bonus of sorts. My youngest and I set out this morning to have an interactive music hour at the local library and afterwards spend the rest of our morning at the zoo. We have just over a month to use umpteen train tickets and parking passes. So we spent the hotter part of our day trucking around the zoo checking out bees, ants, birds and a tiger- while waiting in line for our train ride around the zoo. This was about all T could take after our busy morning schedule so we headed to the car. As only the true cake addict can testify, you feel the pull to locate just one more. Promising yourself that tomorrow it won't drive you, you just need your fix for the day. It's always there in the back of your mind, calling to you, "where is the next cake?" Just my luck, there was a cake that had eluded me. Two months ago, I had followed the GPS route 1.2 miles from the zoo to the designated cake spot and was instead bewildered by the community college staring back at me. This time, I decided to turn early and attempt to trick the GPS, it didn't work but luckily my youngest had his cake eyes on and he saw a spot of blue and yellow just ahead nestled between two luxury apartment buildings. Odd location for a cake titled St. Louis Arena. However it was a great place for T to cool his jets and for me to claim victory over the elusive cake. After this one as he was conked out from all the fun of the day, I picked up one more cake on the route home to bring my total to 150 cakes. Only 100 more the go but who's counting?
