Yesterday I had another one of those evil days. Yes, a birthday.

And this is all that is left of my birthday cake.

It was a great cake.

Not that very many of you are going to be driving through Slidell, Louisiana any time soon but if you do, be sure and look up a little European bakery on Robert Rd. called F.O.M.

You’ll never touch anything in a Safeway again. Much less a Tom Thumb.

Owner Michael Pastroet says he came up with the name F.O.M. Bakery & Catering while sitting in church one day. Suddenly, it came to him…Fishers Of Men, F.O.M. The bakery, which in my opinion sells its exquisite products for far less than they are worth, has been in operation since 2004.

That’s not that yucky blood-sugar raising confectioner’s sugar icing on there. Nope. Just whipped cream. Lots of real whipped cream. Inside? Light spongy homemade cake in three thin layers, separated by bavarian cream and strawberries.

Uh-huh.

Go ahead. Drool.

It’s perfectly acceptable.

I would show you a picture of the chocolate covered strawberries they threw in for gratis — just because it was my birthday, but sorry. They’re all gone. 😉
