Today is a Federal holiday commemorating the ratification of the US Constitution (the supreme law of the land!). It's also called Citizenship Day, to recognize all who are born or naturalized US citizens.

We were looking up a list of days the flag should be flown (DH has a monster display now) and came across this one, which I didn't know about.

So, big high fives to all my fellow citizens today! Will there be cake???

There is always cake, you're in America!

Wow, I've never heard of Constitution Day! Would have flown the flag if I'd known.

Yes, I hear your sort make them from scratch! ?

It has been known...

I nearly caused an incident by laughing when someone from my new family to be told me they had been "baking" and I discovered this meant pouring canned-fruit into a factory made pastry shell and heating it up in the microwave

ahem.
You're never getting invited over here for any of my baking then!

Hey, I'm learning that micro-baking can be tasty and is a whole lot less time consuming!
I still enjoy making stuff from scratch if I can find the time though

Why isn't everybody on holiday then.

Cake is passe (with accent above the e). The in-thing is CUPCAKES!

White cake with pineapple frosting and coconut flakes for me please.

Yum!

I thought someone was talking of poop when I heard this today

for some, every day is Constipation Day.

I plead the 5th about expressing my self and views on this thread.....

Have you seen those tv ads for the giant silicone cupcake mold? It's like 25 times bigger than a normal one. Oh, here's the link to it:
