When son Jim was age six it was getting close to his birthday and I was in a fix — driving the other kids here & there, also working part time and meals for 5 to prepare. I had an idea I knew was great — to prevent me from having to bake a cake I took Jim to the Pepperidge Farm Outlet Store. And said "Pick out one or more." With a smile on his face and a skip in his step he pointed to a cake that would fill him with pep. "3 Layer Chocolate Cake" was his pick for the day. I payed for it quick and we sped away. So now 50 years later when Jim's family says "What kind of birthday cake would you like?" He just smiles and says "3 Layer Chocolate Pepperidge" — and hugs them all with his might!

My mother made it "from scratch" — again I did not try to be a match — So I ask a sister who liked to bake — our to please — make she mother's delicious cake — Yes, she said, "I had no complaints!" This story has one more chapter to tell — you can guess what it's about — oh well Jim & Carol's daughter, Christine, loves to bake & cook So went to Jason & Wales and PSU — to learn enough to write a book —
