Brother Anthony Engaged to Lisa
And the Ingredients for a Delicious Cake
Here’s the announcement as it was communicated by email from by brother Anthony this morning:
Guess what! Lisa and I are engaged!
We just enjoyed the most amazing ice cream cake that I have ever made
... and the only one! Here’s the list of components, all of which
were homemade:1. chocolate cake
2. coffee ice cream
3. almond buttercrunch toffee
4. chocolate ice cream
5. hot fudge
6. caramel
7. whipped cream
So I immediately emailed back:
You must be kidding: “we’re engaged, here’s a list of ingredients for a delicious cake”? Can you please elaborate more on the engaged part! Forget the cake!
Was the cake so delicious that Anthony was inspired to marry Lisa? I’ve known cake to be good, perhaps this cake was just blow your mind good that all things, including engagement, pale in comparison. Or maybe the cake helped give Anthony a perspective on life that recognized the importance of enjoying good cake with the person you love. 
Stay tuned. Certainly more to come.
Update: Juicy Details
Anthony responded:
Haha. Sorry about that.
It happened at the apartment. I just wrote the proposal on top of the
cake in chocolate and the ring was sticking up inside the ‘o’ of
‘you’. I led Lisa to it with her eyes closed. It was spelled funny
in a way we like to talk to each other for fun and she laughed out
loud when she saw it.Earlier in the day we went to Giorgio’s since we hadn’t had their
pizza for a while. That’s always as good as we remember. After that
we watched a movie called Visioneers on DVD. It has that guy Zach
Galifianakis from The Hangover in it. It was a pretty good dark
comedy but we didn’t like the ending.Fortunately my proposal and the cake saved the day. Lisa was very
happy and surprised. We’ll send some pictures soon.
Update: Photos
I’m not expert on marriage proposals, but this is cute, clever and fitting for Anthony and Lisa. They’ve been on a baking trend for a while now. Anthony has a blog that he writes about different baking adventures. There are more photos of the ring, the cake, and Anthony and Lisa in their photo gallery.
