Publix had Pepperidge Farm layer cakes on sale B1G1, so Hubby brought two home last week. Deciding that I desperately needed a sugar rush (and Hubby was out of chocolate!!!), I pulled one out of the freezer to defrost.
While the cake was defrosting on the counter (for faster defrost time) I saw Hubby wander into the kitchen. I assumed he was checking to see if the cake was defrosted enough to be edible.
He didn’t say a word, so a few minutes later I got up and went into the kitchen to look at that Pepperidge Farm layer cake myself – you know, just to see how it was coming along. When I went to look at it, Hubby had pulled an Ann and taken an entire side of the cake for the frosting!!
Hey! That’s my frosting, buddy!!
So I went in and skimmed the other sides. I am pretty good at doing this without getting more than a touch of cake in the process. Success! For me, Pepperidge Farm layer cakes are alllllll about the frosting.
So Hubby comes back in, sees I have relieved the cake of three sides of frosting, so what does he do?
*sniff* The student has become the master. That’s one even I had never thought to do!
Do you like Pepperidge Farm layer cakes? If so, do you eat them like a normal human being, or like I do?

Yes we buy them, but no, we do not do the icing thing or eat them funny. However, I have to admit my hubby pretty much thinks they are single serve cakes. I usually get one, maybe two small pieces. He used to complain because I take a corner (more icing) but then he realized I am the shopper and if he complains too much, I just won’t buy them lol. He grew up having them for his birthday, so I don’t have to bake him a cake, I buy one. Our birthdays are one day apart. He gets a chocolate fudge one and I get coconut. Then I do eat the whole cake because he doesn’t like coconut. Any other time of the year I buy them, I just get chocolate fudge.
You do remind me of my sister with the icing tricks lol!
Ann says
LOL single serving… sounds like my Hubby and Kozy Shack!

Blecch! Frosting-he can have it all!. Especially the thick top frosting.
I prefer the cake…and maybe that thin strip of frosting that holds the two layers together.
So-if you two ever come over, you can have all of it! 🙂
Ann says
YAY!! Thanks Barbee.

Here you go!
I just showed this story to m’honey. He said that there’s nothing weird about it.
The cake was sitting on the counter. Thawing. Right?
So your hubby went in and did the only logical thing: He ate the part that was already thawed and left the frozen part to finish thawing later.
🙂
Ann says
LOL Male logic….
