Michael was blessed to have two cakes baked for his birthday; one by me and one by his sister. Tammy made the cake for Thanksgiving to celebrate and I made this cake on Sunday. This of course was a delight for Michael, since he is a pleasure to cook or bake for. It was a busy holiday since, Michael's birthday was Friday. I am going to do a redo on the dinner though and extend his birthday to next weekend, since his birthday was squeezed between the holiday. I know he will not mind one bit. This was a nice cake and not difficult to make at all. I know you will love Tammy's cake. It is much more elaborate and was delicious, so stay tuned.

Dear Catherine, First I have to say I hope that your Thanksgiving was a lovely one. I have been under the weather for the past week,so I missed leaving a comment on your Thanksgiving post. I loved the photo. Next Happy Birthday to Michael! I am so thrilled to put a face now on the wonderful job he does with narrating your poems. Catherine dear friend, you have beautiful children! Tammy and Michael are to your credit. You raised them very well, good job! Now to your cake, outstanding. I love the combo with the chocolate and the zucchini, easy is right and yummy for sure.
