Like a lot of people, I grew up with my parents taking us to church every Sunday. Every year there was a big fundraiser for one of the groups in the church where the women would get together and make tamales. Which was a little weird because I remember growing up where the only version of Mexican food bore no resemblance to actual Mexican food.

But I digress.

The recipe came from a woman who refused to share the recipe with anyone. And when I say anyone, I mean she didn’t even share it with her kids. As her deathbed approached, she finally agreed to share it with her granddaughter so long as she swore on her honor to never share it with another soul.

I never understand that. I never understand why anyone keeps a recipe secret. But anyway… all of this crossed my mind because I was sorting through cookbooks and came across one of the them from that church (sans tamale recipe, of course.) And so it made me think I should share with you my super secret recipe for Manifesting. But you have to pinkie-promise me you won’t tell a soul. Okay? Cool. Then here it is…

Manifesting Cake

Ingredients

  1.  4 sticks faith
  2.  1 quart hope
  3.  3 tablespoons optimism
  4.  2 1/2 cups sassiness
  5.  2 heaping cups sifted courage, divided
  6.  3 extra-large bubbles of pure clarity
  7.  2 cups shredded worry about the past
  8.  1 cup sunshine
  9.  1 cup exercise
  10.  2 helpings angel prayers.

Instructions

  1.  Preheat oven to 444 degrees.
  2.  Combine faith, hope, and optimism. Mix well until fully blended and whipped up into excitement.
  3.  Add sassiness. Sift 1 cup courage and add to mixture until it starts to bubble with anticipation.
  4.  Add clarity one bubble at a time mixing until fully incorporated. Make sure the concoction is full of vision of the completed cake. Add salt if desired.
  5.  Sprinkle remaining 1 cup courage over top of mixture.
  6.  Shred worry about the past until fully disintegrated. Throw it in the trash.
  7.  Place cake in oven and set timer for 44 minutes.
  8.  Go for a walk in the sunshine to get a little exercise while Manifesting Cake bakes. Ask angels for their assistance.
  9.  Remove cake from oven and allow to cool. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate (because that helps everything.)

 

Bon Appétit!

What the “In-Between” Taught Me About Happiness

The last year and a half of my life has been perhaps the most self-revelatory of my entire life. I do not recall a moment in my past where I have been as dedicated or as intrigued to understand who I truly am. In some ways, that really saddens me. It seems such a...

I Cleaned Out a Closet and Found a Version of Myself I’d Forgotten

You do not want to know how many times I have moved in my life. No seriously. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. While I know most people do not like change, I seem to love it. I tease people that as a quintuple Sagittarius, I eat change sprinkled on my Wheaties...

2025 Has Flipped Me. And I’m Grateful.

“Fascinating.” Yes, that’s “fascinating” with a period after it not an exclamation point. I grew up watching shows like Star Trek so to me… the word “fascinating” is supposed to be said curiously with one eyebrow raised like Mr. Spock. This whole year for me has been...

The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson

Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself.  Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...

Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight

I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act.  Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...
