Notes: When Billy and I were married in August, his birthday was only a few weeks later. I wanted to bake him a cake, and his mother told me that his favorite cake was Wackie Cake. So I decided to bake him one. Being a new bride and setting up my kitchen, I had a nice goose decanter set for flour and sugar and two more decanters that I thought were for coffee and salt. So I took the directions, made the cake and frosted it. It looks so yummy and I was so proud. I invited the families over and we sang Happy Birthday. Bill blew out the candles and I served the cake. Something just wasn't’t right. It tasted horrible. I couldn't’t believe that this was his favorite cake. His Mom said, “Susan are you sure you used sugar and not salt?” I checked the containers that I had poured from and there was the proof. The sugar was in the salt container and the salt was in the sugar container! But Billy insisted the cake was fine and ate it anyway. What a husband!
