Cakes
I am not sure if any of you have ever heard of Atomic Cake before. I don’t know if this was just a little local Chicago Polish kid thing….Anyway, I am here to make you familiar. Atomic Cake is a cake with two layers of vanilla white cake with strawberry filling in between and two layers of chocolate cake with banana cream filling in between, all covered in thick, sugary frosting. Sounds amazing right? As a child, I used to have joint birthday parties with my younger brother Nick. We are only a year apart in age and our birthdays are only four days apart, so my parents were just being logical. Neither my brother nor I minded the shared aspect. When our youngest brother came along, then there was an issue. He was a strange child. He felt left out at our party because we were getting presents and he wasn’t. So my Grandma started buying him presents for our birthday so, you know, he wouldn’t feel left out. Then when it came time for his birthday party in September, he broke with the family tradition and wanted a plain chocolate cake. Seriously! The best part of a birthday …
