This is the most delicious chocolate cake ever!
I have said that before about the texas sheet cake.
But this one blows even that one out of the water!

Okay so I made this once before, a few months ago. I didn’t have a bundt pan then though. Now as far as taste goes it is extremely moist and very sweet, great if you like a spicy cake. This one should be good for the holidays.
I wanted to make it again and get some better pics though.

We did this banana cream pie a week or so ago. Just thought I would toss this in since I don’t have any cake pics yet.
…go as planned. I set out to bake 2 6 inch cakes and 2 8 inch cakes. I have 4 new 9 inch spring form pans which I adore but that is not 8 inches is it?
A few years back we bought at Michaels a set of 4 pans. 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches.
SO I used the 6 in’ twice and the 8 in once. And the bakers secret pans I used to use for brownies are supposed to be 8 inches. Guess what? They aren’t!

I had a friend edit out the city for me. It says City of ***** And she edited it all out so I can remain semi anonymous. Thanx so much Alex! You are awesome!!
Okay so end of July I did the same cake batter as from the Hawaiin cake but no pineapples at all and I used a different recipe for cake flour. I made a mini cake for me to sample and I didn’t even get to frost it. It was so good I ate it right away!

Isn’t that tiara set adorable? So I decided what I am going to do. Two cakes, one on top and smaller than the other. The tiara will sit on top cake and the scepter will be on the bottom cake. Princess cake here I come!

Okay so I love tamales. I usually try to pick some up 1-2 times a year though cause I will want to eat all of them!
A few weeks ago my son seen someone selling tamales to the neighbour. I ran over to ask how much? $1 each. I asked for 4. I figured my hubby and I would test them out and if they were good we could buy more another time. I asked for all pork.
2 of them were pork and 2 were cheese!

…Okay so my aunt was having her 50th birthday party yesterday. Hula dancers, hawaiin theme, the whole works. I called my other aunt to offer up some cupcakes but, my birthday aunt, her sons girlfriend, was already in charge of the cupcakes. So she asked if I’d like to do the cake instead?

I think these ones are adorable.
….so yesterday after having only 4 hours sleep the previous night I deiced to bake & frost 30 cupcakes and do a photo shoot. I got tired about half way in and decided to take a nap but with 5 kids running amuck I knew better than to even try. lol
I like the 16:9 camera option but not so much for cupcakes.

Strangely enough we are selling equal amounts of these as we are chocolate chip cookies! I never thought I’d say that. lol The week of 4th of July I had wanted to do sugar cookies because I thought they would be cute to sprinkle and decorate for 4th of July.
So I found a really good recipe in one of my cookbooks and we sent a few $2.00 boxes out along with the chocolate cookie boxes but none sold. I was kind of sad. They were really good. I was also trying to figure out a way to make sure we boosted these cupcakes up to $1.00 each and get people out of the mindset that cupcakes need to cost .50 cents each.

I know they look big in the picture but they are not. They are mini loaves and are half a pound each. I know because I even weighed them. haha
So a few weeks ago I made banana bread and sliced it up into small $2 slice packs. They all sold. Made 1 small loaf of bread that sold too.
SInce then I have been wanting to get mini loaf pans, for the people who want to try it but don’t yet want to commit to a whole loaf. So I bought 8 and then we had 4th of July so I was focused on cupcakes and sugar cookies.
