Flash forward and Kim’s daughter’s 1st birthday comes rolling around…along with her mother’s birthday, which are a day apart, so she created a 2-tier, pillared cake; Way too huge for the event. But design has no limits, the bigger the more to decorate! Kim was so wrapped up in the party plans and the decoration of the cake, she realized she was out of ingredients to make a traditional cake batter. Looking on the internet she stumbled across a recipe using applesauce instead of oil. She was unsure how the cake would taste, but knew it was going be beautiful. As the story goes, no one at the party said much about the cake, but there were so many left overs they went into her office job, where people just starting standing in line for her to make cakes for them. Recipes were from local coworker’s personal collections, the internet, and after lots of experimenting, Kim herself. Coworkers started sending cakes into school, taking them to church functions and asking for cakes for all their special occasions. But what really made Kim stop and think she had something, was a teacher, who upon tasting her cakes, who just had a baby and was on summer break, started a frantic, exhausting 2 month search to find the bakery who made those wonderful cakes. She placed calls to other coworkers, the principal, and even another school just to track down the student who could finally tell her who Kim was.
