Farewell to the Cake Lady

Some of the best newspaper reading is on the obituary pages. The Boston Globe's obit page featured this story of the Cake Lady, a woman in Newton, Mass. famous for her luxuriously frosted cakes. It recounts in affectionate details how she painstakingly detailed cakes for everyone from the birthday boy down the street to President John F. Kennedy to Dr. Benjamin Spock, whose cake rode belted in its own cabin seat, ticket and all, to a party in New York City. What are you doing with your own life today to make your obit worth reading?
