Lemonade Cake

Ambelina's Famous Lemonade Cake

I worked for a National Home builder for almost 7 years; it was absolutely the best group of people I have ever worked for.  When the housing market plummeted in 2008 the office in Bakersfield was closed.  While I was there, I was blessed to work with Ambelina, the Controller for the Bakersfield office.  She would make a birthday cake for each of the accounting staff.  She could have bought a cake, but a homemade cake was her way of showing each of us how much she appreciated all that we did.  Believe me there were many times when we worked late. But that didn't stop her, if it was someone's birthday the next day she would stay up and bake.  It was important for her to show her appreciation.  This was one of the best cakes she made.  Thanks, Ambelina!
