Christy, for Heaven's sake, who are these "friends" who are putting all
these demands on you? Do they understand your present physical limitations?

You offered to help with the menu but they turned down your offer to do
meatballs and/or lasagna. You offered to make a white birthday cake with
pink frosting for 60 people. You planned to make a few recipes for them to
try. And now they want three tiers with icing to look like ribbons and bows!

If you are "getting frustrated because they're calling me up on the hour,
changing their minds about menus and such" it's time to blow the whistle!
These "friends" seem to be pushing you to see how far you will go. STOP!

Make three round layers from cake mix, trim them to make 10-inch, 8-inch and
6-inch layers. Stack them on top of each other. Frost with homemade frosting
if you feel up to it, or canned frosting if you don't. If you can pipe
ribbons with a tube of frosting, go to it; otherwise decorate it with
purchased pink cake doo-dads or perhaps fresh flowers. It will be lovely!

Sorry if I sound like a scold. The scolding is directed at those who seem to
be taking advantage of you.
