Birthday cake!

Not a bad way to end a three day weekend. I made dinner and a birthday cake for a friend. True confession, the cake was from a box, but I made the frosting from scratch. And, I used dark chocolate cocoa. It was awesome. The higher cocoa percentage in the frosting was yummy, if you like that sort of thing. Of course, it doesn't look that great, but I'll get better each time I make it.

The candles were really cool. The short ones burned the same color as the wax - so the red candle gave off a red flame, the green candle was a green flame - and the tall candles sparkled, especially when my friend tried to blow them out. Fun weekend, fun dinner, and fun Bears game. Time to get ready for work tomorrow.
