Is it really so strange

Today at work we are having an auction of baked good to raise some money for the local food bank. Being the charitable person I am(stop the snickering), I made a cake to sell and one for the masses to sample. Why bid on a delectable if you can't savor what you are bidding on? My cake is just one of twenty-three that are up for bid.

The cake.

I don't associate with my co-workers outside of work, so many of them do not really know me. I have been here offcially for 4 years, and was a contractor for about a year and a half before that. It amazed them that I am able to bake?!? Comments were made about how my wife did a good job, but I would let them know it was me who made the cakes. I would get these stunned looks and questions. Is it that odd that I can bake and cook? I do the grocery shopping. I take care of my kids. I love my wife. I can be an ass. I can fix a car. I can build furniture. I do what needs to be done. Big deal.


Update:
I kick cake ass. Starting bids on all items was $2.00. My cake went for the auction high of $31.00.
