one cake, many reasons

#1 Daughter made the yellow butter cake, and I contributed the warm rhubarb sauce. To gild the lily, (and for Hubby's taste-buds) we will also throw together a bowl of cream cheese frosting.

Happy Birthday, Grandma Janet! We will have to save you a piece, since we live 100 miles away fro you .
Happy Birthday, Grandma Jean! (2 days early)
Happy Anniversary, Bill & Nancy! (also 2 days early, but I'm only baking one cake this week)
We have other blessings to celebrate as well.

I think one cake can do the job. Pass the ice cream, please.

Nancy's Rhubarb Sauce

2 cups diced rhubarb (red is prettier)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
dash cinnamon

In a medium saucepan, combine & simmer all ingredients. Stew until thickened and rhubarb is soft, maybe 20 minutes. Stir often. Serve warm over any kind of cake. (As a rule, vanilla ice cream helps any dessert.) Refrigerate leftovers for spreading on your breakfast toast.
