The Cake...
This beautiful chocolate cake was one of the best birthday presents I have ever received. Weeks before my birthday I told Drew that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was a "homemade" birthday cake made by him and the kids.
Sure enough, the day before my birthday, Drew came home from work with all the ingredients to make this scrumptious dessert. The kids mixed and stirred and poured and put their blood, sweat, and tears into the cake. After it baked Drew decided to speed the cooling process to insure they could decorate it before bedtime, by putting it in the fridge. During transport, he accidently dumped the whole cake on the floor.
The kids weren't upset though. They just said "Can I have some now?" I told Drew it was OK, and the fact I got him and the kids on video cooking together was present enough. But NO, Drew wouldn't be defeated. He stayed up until 11:00 that night making a new cake and decorating it. And this was the result. A fabulously colorful and YUMMY birthday cake. Just for me. I was thrilled. I feel like the luckiest woman to have such a great husband. And on my birthday he brought flowers home too. We went to Texas Roadhouse for a birthday dinner. And finally came home and ate the yummy cake. It was probably the best birthday I've ever had. Simple and wonderful.
