The cake took me 3 hours to make. It's Hershey's Perfect Chocolate Cake and that part turned out great. It was the frosting that took me so long. I made three batches of frosting.I tried to make a 3 layer cake but I accidently flipped one of the layers the wrong way and it eventually crumbled after I frosted it. It literally cracked and slid off. Lol. I removed that layer and put the last layer on. I sort of saved the cake, it still didn't look quite as neat as it could but it has two types of frostings. Plain chocolate on the outside and a mocha frosting inside, very yummy. I wish I had strawberry or raspberry sauce to put on it. Lol.
For the first time Camille had her Dad and all of us (dh, Danny and me) together for her birthday in the same place.
Danny is pictured stuffing his face with both hands full of cake while his fork lays on the plate.
Ah, the joy of having a boy.

The cake looks great and yummy.
I made a layer cake for DS's birthday last September. I forgot to level the layers and it cracked right down the middle. We were leaving for the Grand Canyon the next day, so we called it his "Grand Canyon cake". LOL

My eldest DD just turned nine yesterday. Can I hear you sing with me, "Where is the little girl I carried?" (Sway back and forth with heads tilted into the air.) I don't have to make the cake until Thursday when she is having her best friend over for her first ever sleep over. (Only the one friend, all I can handle right now.) Blessings.
Jessica,
I just want to thank you and your husband on behalf of Camille for including her Dad in the party. I know first hand how important and special it must have made her feel.
My parents were young when they divorced, but they have ALWAYS come together for important events in my life -- birthdays, plays, drama-free wedding. Even as a child I understood how rare it was that my parents could do this, and I knew they did it just for me, and that made me feel so loved!
I didn't TRULY understand the sacrifice they made (putting their own hurts and feelings aside for my sake for so many years) until I became a wife and mother. To see them come together -- including the steps -- for my children brings me such joy.
I don't know the circumstances surrounding your divorce from Camille's Dad, but I do know that some day Camille will look back and thank you for including him in her 8th birthday party!
Hugs,

Okay - now I HAVE to have some chocolate! Look what you've done posting that scrumcious (sp?) looking cake for all to drool at but no one to taste! ;-)
Hope she had a happy, sweet birthday!

Happy Birthday Camille! My son turns 8 tomorrow. We had chocolate cupcakes yesterday and we'll have some more tomorrow. Not as cute as your cake, but come on, it's chocolate! :)
