Finally! A new recipe!

In honor of my birthday (which was yesterday :D) I decided it was high time to post a new recipe! And since it’s for my birthday and all, it’s not just any recipe… It’s The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe Ever!! This cake is sooo moist and rich and mouth-watering… Perfect for any occasion. :D

But since it was *my* birthday… I didn’t have to make a cake. Kevin made one for me! :D Kevin took the day off work and I slept in… I woke up to the smell of fresh birthday cake! And a hubby with frosting all over his face! Hehe

Yes, he iced & decorated it himself! Doesn’t it look awesome? Much better than anything I’ve ever done.. LOL. We spent the rest of the day lounging around the house and eating cake. A very good birthday!! :D

Over Thanksgiving I got the chance to take some family pics… This of Kevin’s cousin is my new favorite:

Now that Thanksgiving and my birthday are over, it’s officially Christmas season!  To celebrate, I made a new Christmas blog theme from Crystal Wilkerson’s digital scrapbook kit, The Vintage Candy Cane Collection. Her kit includes an alpha made from one of my Free Scrapbook Fonts, My Own Topher! :)

    How did you make your icing so white? I was going to remake this cake for a work thing next week. But I also thought about making some chocolate icing and do a death by chocolate thing. I can’t decide! :)

    He did such a great job! I love the sprinkles!! :) I’ve been wanting to remake this cake for awhile but haven’t had a reason…no birthdays in my family (except my dad, but he wanted pie). Happy belated Birthday!!!

    Your new layout is superdooper cute!

    And your cake looked delicious! I am definitely going to try out your recipe for our Christmas celebration when my Dad and his girlfriend come over. :)

    BTW…I think updating your layouts seasonally (or when the mood strikes) helps keep your site fresh!

    Amanda, what a wonderful cakeAnd your dh decorates better than me too. My cakes just aren’t that photogenic, but as long as they taste good, I don’t mind. I will have to give your recipe a try!
