Happy Easter!

              That's right I have been lazy on my blogging. Busy in life though. Enjoyed a lovely two week vacation the first two weeks of April. Went to Sunny California for two weeks. Visited Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. Stay at a couple resorts and had a blast. Maybe I will blog more about that another time. Now onto the rest of my post.
              Where I leave it's not officially Easter Sunday for like 8 minutes but I will just steadily ignore that detail. The only reason I am up is I finished making the cake for Easter dinner with my in-laws. I was assigned the dessert. I was shocked. Not because I can't bake, I think I bake rather well and J'adore baking. It's my understanding other people like my baking too. The thing is DH Aunt is a baker, an amazing baker and she always makes the desserts. Do to a sad twist of fate in the form of an illness said Aunt is cooking most of the rest of Easter dinner. So Aunt asked DH is I could make the dessert. (So I wasn't really assigned it but its not like DH asked me before he said yes) I am thrilled to make the dessert like I said I LOVE baking. So I made this chocolate buttermilk cake, yum with these amazing chocolate cream cheese frosting double yum. So so amazing. I got the frosting recipe from the Cupcake Project's blog. If you have the time you should check it out and if you don't have the time check it out later.  So the cake well let me tell you about it then so you a completed picture. Yes there's more details!
                 So, I contemplated making a cake in the shape of a lamb or a chick and just couldn't talk myself into it. So I went easy. I thought it turned out cute. It's a peeps sunflower cake I saw it on some website (don't remember which one) and decided to make it. I think they used a white or yellow cake or something.  But not me I went chocolate all the way.

                    I think it turned out pretty well. I was going to set the chips all nice and neat but I am getting tired so I just tossed them on. The peeps seem to be bailing off the cake but I still think it's cute. Once again HAPPY EASTER!
