Chocolate Chocolate Cake

“Hey Bryce what kind of cake do you want me to make you for your birthday?”  “Chocolate Mom, DUH!”  He says!  Oh My!!  Do I dear ask what kind of frosting he wants???  I didn’t have to… about 10 seconds later he followed it up with “and chocolate frosting to!”  

Well at least I didn’t have to try and get fancy… Can’t get much easier than this!

Happy 7th Birthday Bryce!
