Let’s face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me. Audrey Hepburn
It’s Kathryn’s birthday week.
She is 15.
!!15!!
I’m not sure who has been more excited this week. . . the birthday girl or her little sister.
So, when looking at the pictures of our birthday celebration . . . know this: I couldn’t decide which picture I liked the best, the picture in the middle is unedited and most importantly. . .whatever you do. . . DON’T look at the cake. Just know: the cake was creamy, it was home made, I never use a box, and most importantly it was chocolate.
Until Next time. . .

Drats!!! Anne, I knew you see! Yes! there was a earthquake. I tried to save the cake but couldn't. Or I tried to rush things. I put the cakes together and frosted when it was WAY to hot! while we were eating dinner the top layer slid off in pieces. It was delicious though!!! LOL!!!!!! Love!

I think little sis is more excited and I was just thinking how AWESOME that cake looked – – – ANYONE can have a traditional looking cake, it takes real imagination and SKILL to create one like THAT.

Nothing in that picture could ever be a disaster, it is great and I can't believe you really put that on after it fell on the floor. Y"all really love chocolate. I loved it, the girls are truly beautiful.

Love the un-edited middle picture the best. Chocolate is yummy, whether lumpy little turds (ahem, truffles) or majestic cakes. I simply don't get yellow cake at all (it's ok, but if you're going to do cake – then just make it chocolate!).
