The One and Only Cake

You will be happy to know that we had it out of the Grand Canyon alive. My absence in the blogging world does not signify my demise. We made it home from our adventure safe and sound. I have a lot to catch up on but first, in the light of thanksgiving, I am thankful for my mom. There are many reasons and I won't go into a long list. But, one reason is her ability to make a cake. My birthday cake!

After I turned 18 I stopped receiving presents for my birthday. The only thing I get is a cake. A fancy cake of my choosing. This year I picked a chocolate cookie dough cake I saw on Pinterest ( I never have the same cake twice). My mother made it for me. It took her hours and according to her, after step 215, it was finished. She swore to never make this cake again.  But I tell you what sir, it was delicious!
