casey crocker’s Chocolate Cake

It’s Valentine’s Day on Saturday…so for this month Casey made chocolate cake=) which also doubled for her birthday cake that she also celebrates at the beginning of this month. (check out her bday post over on her blog)

IMG_8451Our afternoon together was almost cancelled due to a threatening winter storm…which didn’t happen at all, I’m sure this added to the happiness of all those Super Bowl celebrators out there. But at Casey’s house – all of us, Carl included, are non celebrators. Like we’re the people that hope that both teams lose=)  I ended up just driving in a bit of rain to her house and whew was I ever glad, I look forward to our monthly visit and the prospect of maybe not being to do it or reschedule it was very disappointing.IMG_8432IMG_7827IMG_7838IMG_7840By far this was the most fantastic time we’ve had together. Have I said that before? oh well I’ll probably say it every time…hehe! As we continue this adventure together our friendship is growing more and more…which is a good thing…but for our Casey Crocker sessions I’m not so sure. We are so interested in catching up with each other she cooks faster and I forget to take pictures=) Like she added a cup of coffee to this recipe, but did I get a picture of it? no!IMG_7842IMG_7851IMG_7868IMG_7888IMG_7874IMG_7927IMG_7935IMG_7937IMG_7946IMG_7993IMG_8001IMG_8003IMG_8029Oh and we both were able to use our crafty sides (well mainly it was all Casey) and make a banner for the cake and a heart runner for the table. Talking about life while waiting on the other to finish with the, single, pair of scissors, haven’t we all done this…at least one time? it was so fun! IMG_7835IMG_8053IMG_8054IMG_8109IMG_8068IMG_8082The house smelled so wonderful!!!! Casey and I were just taking our time surrounded with card stock, tape and string while we waiting for them to cool, completely. Carl comes around the corner and was like “it’s cool, enough.” haha someone was pretty hungry for chocolate cake=)IMG_8095IMG_8119IMG_8143IMG_8145IMG_8154IMG_8176Perfect!!!! so lovely!!!IMG_8232IMG_8249-2IMG_8314IMG_8338IMG_8330IMG_8354IMG_8356IMG_8397IMG_8399IMG_8444Sooooo Carl (who was so impatient to taste this wonderful smelling cake) was given the honor of being the first to taste this fabulous creation of his wife. BTW he loved it!IMG_8461IMG_8488Annnnnddd since it’s Valentines Day WHY NOT make a mini couple shoot of it?!?!?IMG_8499My heart is melting!!! =)IMG_8511IMG_8514IMG_8471IMG_8520

I took a piece home because of my evening (doctor’s suggested) restriction of sweets. And I ate it for breakfast (no judgment please=) y’all know you would have too. And Casey it was excellent!

So hurry over to Casey’s blog and get the recipe…

Happy Thursday!!! and I hope your Valentine’s Day is wonderful and everything that you hoped it would be.

4th Birthday Party!!!!!!

Dear Maximus,

Today July 28th you turned 4 years old. For a 4 year old you have already experienced a lot in life. Both good and bad. You’re a strong kid though and are going to grow up to be a sweet young man. Life will never stop throwing hard things your way…overcome them and never quit smiling. Always love those around you especially your dad, mom and older brother…they are the most important people in your life! I can’t wait to see the things you will do in the coming years. And I look forward to watching you grow up. I love you “till the mountains come tumbling down”=)

                                                                Your Aunt
