A cake for Dad




Not to make anyone sad but after Paige's party she wanted to send some birthday cake to dad since he missed the party. After explaining how it would take weeks to get there she agreed we should still make a cake for Grandpa and the boys when they came home from work so we made this SUPER chocolate cake that my aunte Jeanette makes for her kids parties and it is AMAZING. I posted the recipe to the bottom.


I had to laugh at Ben's face as he tried to wait for Grandpa to get home.
