Anna woke us up early, which was a good thing because it got me out of bed to make chocolate chip pancakes and OJ. I think a great way to start a day! Anna said we needed a candle for his pan"cake." Tonight Dave and I will enjoy our first dinner date in a LONG time! I am excited!
PRIOR CELEBRATION...
On Sunday we had old (and new i.e. husbands & kids) friends over for dinner and birthday cake. I wanted something extra good and chocolatey... Yep, found it. I give you (with my food network narration) Devils food cake with fudge frosting and mint chocolate ice cream. Topped with icing made out of junior mints, chocolate chips, and an extra hint of mint flavoring. Oh and white chocolate for a little creative touch. Now the cake wasn't beautiful... I had too many ideas and not enough time, but it was DELICIOUS... and still will be for months!
We couldn't get the candles in the top, it was too frozen and the icing was too hard. Thank goodness Dave's birthday is in October. We got away with making it a little "spooky" or crazy however you what to refer to it.

Anna had a great time helping me and so did the rest of her body and her clothes! Who needs a towel. That would be a waste of good chocolate!
Inside... where the goodness lies...
The camera cannot do it justice and neither can a knife!

Happy Happy Birthday Dave! Sorry we didn't get a chance to call and sing today. I'm glad Rich got a chance to talk to you though. Hope you had a great day! The cake looked delicious. We love you!
mmmmmm! You are such a great baker. I want that recipe!
MMMMMMMMMMM!!! That ice cream cake looks delicious. I didn't even think that was possible. I will have to try it! Dave you are so young! Happy belated birthday. Jonathan won't even be done with school until he is 30.
I love the first picture of Anna licking her arm. Can she get any more adorable?
One can get that recipe soon, off my other blog... or perhaps this one, I will let you know.
That cake looks delicious - well done Heidi! And happy birthday Dave!
