The third of our monthly prizes was awarded yesterday to my sister-in-law Lynn Eddy. She won for having her name chosen from all those who posted on the blog in the month of June. Lynn had posted a number of times, thus increasing her chances and it paid off! On July 1st, my daughter Katie (Lynn's neice!) drew the winner from a Gladware container, and it was all legit. When I told Lynn that she was the winner, she decided to wait until a special occasion to redeem her prize. Well, that occasion is upon us, and this little 8" round cake traveled with Lynn and her husband Rod to Ohio where it was shared tonight in honor of: 1) their first visit with their newest grandson Breccan (baby brother to Carraig), and 2) the wedding anniversary of their son Rod and his wife Emily, the proud parents of these two little boys.

Here's a photo collage of Lynn's prize as it came together -- a chocolate on chocolate cake using the
Hershey cocoa recipe on the back of the cocoa tin (my standard):
So, welcome little Breccan, and Happy Anniversary Rod and Em! Safe travels home. Lynn and Rod! Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating, and brush those crumbs off your face!
Thanks Aunt Jeanne (and Lynn for winning)! It was delish!!!

I definitely have to give your famous Hershey's Chocolate Cake a try. Do you make your chocolate cupcakes with the same recipe? I just want to take my finger and run it through the top of the cake, for a great big taste of that chocolate frosting! :) Happy Friday, Jeannie!
ReplyDeleteWe put a major dent in the cake. Carraig loved it and wanted more so Poppo shared some of his with him. Tomorrow is another day. AS Bill Cosby once said, "There is nothing wrong with cake for breakfast." Afterall it has all very healthy ingredients! LOL Thanks again Jeanne. It's delish and Rod and Em are having a little taste of home! Lynn
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story!
ReplyDeleteBaby Breccan is absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks fantastic and I do agree - the frosting on the cake does call out to have a finger run through it .... a few times even! :-)
