B had his 27th birthday this week. I have wanted to make him a layer chocolate cake for a long time and finally went for it. As I was putting the candles in, he realized this was the first time he's ever had a birthday cake with candles. (!!) Long story there, I guess, but now I am convinced I want this to be a family tradition. We don't make many cakes around here and certainly not ones without a little whole wheat or some other supposedly healthier substitution. So it's nice to go all out for a special occasion. And I love a wonky, besprinkled homemade cake. Don't you?
