Apple Cake

Someone will probably ask me what this has to do with photography.
We live in Vermont and my sister lives in Florida. When we grew up
our mother use to make an apple cake. So recently I found the
original recipe and decided to make the cake. Part of my life has
been a hobby of baking. My sister must remember this with fond
memories but the only way she can at least see it was for me to
photograph it and send it to her in an e-mail. Maybe you don't know
that a photograph of a childhood memory can bring tears to your
eyes.

Nice. We do the same with our apple pies; share them via photos with those who know them well, but cannot partake.

My mother's apple cake was similar but rectangular, apples lined up like soldiers.

Pixelmaster, here is a pix of an apple pie I made a few years ago. I still make them but they do a number on my waist line and cause my blood sugar to spike. ~FiddleMaker

The second line sounds familiar - a Dirty Harry quote from a Clint Eastwood movie if my memory is correct.

If I were you, I'd upload to Shutterfly or some such service and make a plate of it with the date. Then you can gift it to your sister.
I have several plates with photos of meals that my husband made and gave them to him for Father's Day. Since they are so light in weight, I think that, as I get older, they will replace my china, and won't they make for interesting discussions with visitors!
