Making another cake

After going for several years without making a cake, tonight I'm on my second one in a week.

Tomorrow's my mom's birthday and she wants a chocolate raspberry cake, just like I made for my friend's big day last week. So, I'll be in the kitchen tonight, baking up a storm and making a huge mess.

The first one turned out pretty yummy (if I do say so myself). I'm definitely more fond of chocolate than I am of rasberries, but the combination was heavenly.

Oh how I wish you could share!

Oh man, I love cake...soon I will get cake at work as it is almost my b-day I am very excited..I asked for a white cake with vanilla icing a la 5 year old birthday party cake...

It's cooling right now. Then I get to frost it! The frosting is made of whipping cream and melted chocolate chips.

oooooooooo that sounds so delicious!

wow that frosting sounds delish! not a big fan of frosting, but the whipping cream sounds divine!

Oh, Eileen! We don't eat enough sweets to make baking a cake worthwhile, but OMG chocolate and raspberry is a match made in heaven -- and frosted with whipped cream/chocolate. Move aside, everyone, I'm on my way!

Godiva sells a Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream in the grocery stores hehe, that would go sooooooo well with the cake you're making

OMG that sounds sooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!
PLEASE send a piece this way.
