No Cake For Us This Heart's Day =(

For the past 2 Valentine's we've had here (since we moved), I have always baked cake.  This year will be the first time that I won't be baking any.

First reason, I didn't really plan ahead of time.  I wanted to bake Angel Food Cake, but there are some ingredients I forgot to buy.  I don't have anymore sugar, enough eggs, orange extract, and cream of tartar.  And above all, I don't have the pan to use to bake the cake in.  (Yes, I know, right?!)  I still have to buy one to be able to do it.  I've been thinking about getting the Bundt/fluted pan instead of the regular one, simply because I like its shape.

I wanted to ask my husband to take us all to the store so I can get all the stuff I need, but his schedule lately has been ridiculously busy.  It's even hard for him to really spend time with us because he usually leaves early for work, and he gets home late.  I wish everything would be back to normal again next week!

Anyway, I absolutely have no idea what to do for Valentine's Day tomorrow.  Like what I said, I wanted to at least bake a cake for us to enjoy after dinner, but I don't have everything I need.  I don't even know if he'll be home early, or if it's going to be another late night at work.  I don't even have a card for him, and that makes me feel really bad!  I wanted to go out today to buy one, but he's not home yet, and the store closest to us closes at 10PM.  I'm sure he's working on a case again.  He's been doing it for the past week now.  He's been doing reports on recruits being admitted to the hospital, and he needs to gather every information he can get to give out to their respective families to keep them updated.  I think I'll just have to look for something else to give him.

Well, I still am planning on baking a cake probably this weekend.  I might bake Lemon Angel Food Cake instead, since I'll have more time to do it now, and I actually can buy all the ingredients I will need.  But who knows what I might end up baking then?!  Because to be honest, I have 3 different kinds of cake in mind that I want to bake.  I'll ask the hubby first what he wants, then, I'll go from there.  I don't mind whichever he picks.  I can eat any type of cake!
