Let Them Eat Cake
“Chocolate…chocolate cake with chocolate frosting,” was Hudson’s response to a birthday cake this year. He didn’t want any special type of cake except for chocolate so chocolate it is! I actually took to making and freezing the cakes ahead of time. The day of and before always seem rushed. I thought it would be fun to attempt a checkerboard cake. I think it just might become tradition. It wasn’t really that hard. I had forgotten how much easier frozen cake is to deal with. It also turned out to be very moist.
Note to self: freezing cake makes birthdays less stressful and makes the cake more moist.
I know the frosting looks a little funky, but I am not one for the normal frosting…too rich. I mixed it with 2 cups of whipped cream and I fell in love.
Below you can see the cake without a petticoat…how embarassing!


This is AWESOME!!! How talented are you??? I’m very impressed!
