This is not, by definition, 'cake'. I more just want to share this sweet story. A few weeks ago, I was at work getting ready to start my shift, and my manager comes up to me and explains that this guy called in the morning, and was planning on coming in to Ruby River for dinner, and proposing to his girlfriend. Ruby River isn't where I would want to be proposed to, BUT it turns out they were set up on a blind date and Ruby River was where they met. Pretty cute right? SO, he asks if we can help, and try to plan something special for them. We told him to plan on dessert, and he told us we would see him at 7pm. We all stood around WAITING for 7:00 to roll around. For the 4 hours we were waiting, I called my SIL to bring her cake decorating tips and bags, and hoped I could pull something together in time. This is what we came up with on the first try...
(cell phone picture, not HQ) To explain what I did, I just simply melted chocolate chips, and piped them out of a bag around the edge of the bowl, then let it harden in the fridge. Lindsy happened to also bring sprinkles and stuff, so I picked out all the red hearts and used those too.
After they were done eating dinner, I 'sold' them on the delicious cheese cake. As I was going back to prepare it, the guys comes running after me and says, 'You know, right?' and I said, 'Oh yeah, I know, we are prepared'. When I brought it out to the table, she was in mid sentence and then stopped in shock when she read what it said. Then he jumped out of the booth to kneel on one knee to propose. We were all standing near by watching. It was so sweet. And they left so happy.
It wasn't so much the difficulty level that made this dessert, but the thought that made it so fun to do. I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
