I'm kind of proud of how it turned out. It's my first time ever using chocolate (the red/white) to "mold" letters, etc. I LOVE IT! I'm already planning the next cake I can make to do more with chocolate!

It's for my friend Holly's birthday. They invited us over for her birthday dinner tonight and I'm surprising her with her favorite kind of cake and chocolate covered strawberries! I hope she loves it.

It was the first time I've ever made chocolate covered strawberries and I'd never tried one either. They are fantastic! I think I'll be making them a lot more - even if my hips get wider! :)

Thank you. I hope she likes it too. It's 3 layers and cream cheese frosting in between.

I would love to make you a cake! Lol. I don't think it would survive shipping though. Darn post office. i'm hoping this one makes the car ride into town alright!

Chocolate cake is my favorite food. I could eat it all, and probably would if I thought no one would find out.

amazing! chocolate and cream cheese the 2 best things you could ever have in a cake!
I wish I could cook like that... i could try but it wouldn't look anything like the one you made... more like burnt and the leaning tower lol

maybe we should have a cake party one day? ;)

Remali - I plan on taking a cake decorating class this spring if I can get in. I would love to do it part time. So far I'm just known as "the cake lady" for all my nephews bday parties and other family members and I don't get paid. But maybe someday.....
