Birthday Cake


Not the most amazing photo, but it was taken pretty late and I was doing well to drag out the camera. :) E's birthday cake. It's a yearly tradition, dating back to a terrific snowstorm in IL. He wanted chocolate cake for his special day, and not a box in the house was to be found. So I looked up 'Ultimate Chocolate Cake' recipe online and had the ingredients to make it from scratch. Didn't have any frosting or decorating stuff, just green M&M's on sale for St. Patty's Day. I figured he liked green, threw it on a green Fiesta plate and voila! He's loved it and asked for it every year since. He'll be away at college and I'll be bringing him chocolate cake with green M&M's. :) Ten on Wednesday, where does the time go??
