In the Wizard of Oz, they pull that curtain back and see no giant, loving omniscience back there, just some ‘ol bull shit. Click that ‘Awards’ widget on my side-bar. Nothing. You were gonna pull that curtain back some day and say “Aha! She’s been fooling us!” Oh, I swear I was gonna put awards in there!
I bees SO gwuilty. [Insert picture of cute kitteh] I accept awards. I say ‘Thank you.’ But I don’t follow the rules. I don’t give acceptance speeches, list things about myself, pass the awards on, or display them on my side-bar.
I appreciate you lovely people for giving them to me and I thank you all. But I’d rather not receive awards. Just lavish praise and rent money.
I watch others who feel this way. What do they do? I’d take guidance from that. So I’ll be a punk ass and piggy back on what that fabulous Kyle says.
Here are beautiful people who gave me awards. Some of you may have forgotten, but I’ve given you all Award Cakes!

I might’ve screwed this up — maybe you didn’t even give me an award — it’s been so long and my notes get mixed up, crinkled. I hope I’ve included everyone who actually gave me an award.
I feel free. I’ll delete that fake widget now.
Eat some cake, responsibly, and enjoy the rest of your week! Mwa!

now you have made me hungry for cake! I like your idea so much better. I delete my awards to because I hate talking about myself.
As long as cake is used responsibly, it can be one of the finer pleasures in life 🙂
Auntee Sandee always makes me hungry for cake. And that chocolate one up there looks really, really good.
I’m really proud of that cake — I took the picture myself, with my cheap, free phone camera! It was at the Whole Foods cake section. For an organic/healthy supermarket, they sure have a fine array of cake, I tell ya what!
It seems even the healthiest of places have a treat or two lying around. 🙂
mmmm that it does.
It’s like you can’t run and you can’t hide — you have to have discipline!
I know, but discipline is such an un-fun word.
I agree! The word causes the stomach to clench up!
I love the cake you gave me…bet it would be so good with some irish cream :). Thanks Aunt Sandee…me love you and your work long time lol. Have a great week!
Oooo I knew you’d like your cake Boomie! Mwa! I appreciate!
Auntie Sandee,
I love that others call you Auntie Sandee, too.

Auntie Sandee,
Now I want royalties. It’s only fair.
Le Clown
I’m sending you royalties via Pony Express.
Looks like everyone’s been loving on you, Sandee. I think I know why. Could it be that you’re an original, refreshing and funny? I totally get it. All the awards and cake, well deserved.
Aw thanks for saying that! I think people like my cakes!
This is one of the most adorable posts I have ever read! You are so adorable, Aunt Sandee!!
With much love,
-Naima.
PS– I am dribbling for the cake! Lol.
Thank you Naima! How sweet of you to say that! Mwa! I’m so glad you enjoyed reading it. I know I seemed to have stirred up quite an appetite for cake in my readers.
And I am actually loving it cause I bake the cocoa orange cake in the morning!! You earn the prayers from my family!
With much love,
-Naima.
Cocoa orange cake — OMG! That sounds like a dream! Enjoy it!
I love lemon cake! Yay! Thanks Sandee! And mazel tov on all your awards. We should have a big ol’ cake party to celebrate!
I’m glad you like it! I remembered when you said that the lemon cake I had up there looked good. I know I love lemon cake the best!
I have been thinking about finding you a wonderful cake. I didn’t know I had already given you one lol. I have a bad memory but are you sure? lol
Well, it doesn’t matter at this point — you deserve an award anyway, I say! Thanks Carla!
I shall have a plaque made: Supreme Ass Cake Award. Hang it on my door, so that everyone knows, ooh yeah.
Well, you get the peach pie cake award — but you are welcome to borrow my supreme ass cake award, indeed!

Oh Jessica — you deserve not only hugs, love, and understanding — but another Cake Award — how about The Supreme Georgia Peach Pie Cake Award for the Supreme Queen of So Very!
I hope your week gets better. Remember, it’s the beginning — you’ve got 5 more 🙂
Sandee, yum. And I love German Chocolate Cake so thank you for your lovely award. I’m like you. I’d rather just say thank you and then “award” others by giving them some recognition and thanks. After that, they can do whatever they want.
I am going to send you a picture of a cake soon. I really hungry for cake now. I’m in on yours and Weebs cake party. I’m inviting myself.
I love your blog and again thanks for the cake.
Cake love.
Cake love, right back atcha! I’m glad you love German Chocolate Cake — it’s one of my favorites! This and black forest cake — must be something about Germany, eh?
Auntie Sandee, You weet old suga’ babe you (kiss, chuckle, kiss)! 🙂
Aw thanks GP! Right back atcha! Keep writing that yummy poetry!

I’ve always wanted a Black Forest Cake Award! Or is it that I always want Black Forest Cake? Yes to both, I think. Dammit, now I’m hungry for cake.
I knew you’d love it! As I told SSG once about red velvet cake — I almost died eating a piece of Black Forest Cake — I love it! Indulge, indulge yourself in the splendor of cake — responsibly of course…
I personally love a chocolate mousse cake with a graham cracker crust. I know the recipes but I hate to bake! I decided when my daughter was three or four,
I could not let those other rich, bleached out blonde mummys beat me at baking. Hence, I came up with ginger bread cake which I stole from a certain chef my Mum knew (she didn’t bake either unless it was a souffle or escargot). I put it in a delightful fish mould much to young Gillian’s delight, decorated with tiny candy drops in pastel colours and some icing on the scales. I was so humiliated. I delivered it, eyes downcast, to the school’s snotty bake sale “coordinator”…and what to my wondering eyes did appear?! An award for the most creative cake but the real reason I got is because some jerk bid $25 for it.
You know what Aunt Sandee that gingerbread cake is really yummy and it’s humble especially when undressed – I award you that cake for all the pleasure you have given me reading your blog.
Oh Annie you are the cat’s meow! And that’s no lie! I was hoping you’d award me that cake cause it sure as hell sounds yummy! I love ginger. That was a good story behind it too.
When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.
🙂
Aw — I don’t like to hear those things. I sure hope you’ve overcome all that ugliness. I’m giving you the Pineapple Upside Down Cake Award!
Hahahaha.. 10Q!
’10Q’ — that is so cute!
