Happy (belated) birthday! I have tried to leave you messages a few times, but kept getting that blogger security message loop. I hope that you had a fabulous birthday, filled with everything that makes you happy! That recipe sounds wonderful, too!
xo,

Happy, Happy Birthday! I think that's my favorite cake if it's the secret recipe on the back of the dark cocoa can. Love the icing with that stuff, too.
Oh now I "need" chocolate so bad!

The recipe is actually one from Taste of Home that I found several years ago. Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday Amanda. I've got your blog bookmarked and I've been checking it regularly. I enjoyed seeing the redo of Tina's room. I just had to tell you that we had a little colt born on your birthday. Leah got a horse last year for her birthday. I like your site.
