Happy Birthday, Papi!

Last week, Brad turned thirty-something. Sam and I celebrated his thirty-something birthday by making him a chocolate cake from scratch! Scratch, people! If that's not love, then I don't know what is....

The Ingredients:


After opening the box, Sam decided that this was his favorite ingredient:


Step one: Flour


Step Two: Sugar


Step Three: Vanilla extract, oil, vinegar and chocolate:


Step Four: Mix together


Step Five: Lick the bowl with all five fingers to ensure adequate amount of chocolate on hands....


Step Six: Repeat step five


Step Seven: Bake, cool and add confenctioner's sugar to create masterpiece...
