Lorelai had only been at the Independence Inn for a few weeks when Rory's first birthday passed. Without a staff to take care of her every need living on her own, and taking care of a baby, was still an adjustment. But at least she was free.
"I'm going to make a cake," Lorelai declared. Mia told her to use inn's kitchen.
She mixed the ingredients, making a mess, and put the tray in the oven. Twenty minutes later she took them out, lit a candle and helped Rory blow. Then she took a bite… big mistake. It was awful.
