Day 60: have your cake...

...but I wouldn't necessarily recommend eating it too.

The ever endearing and always hospitable Boone family invited me to dinner last night, followed by a baking party with the one and only Miss Katie. The food was awesome and the company was a riot. Seriously, I don't remember the last time I laughed that hard. After dinner, Katie, Lynn, and I set out to bake the ultimate cake: dark chocolate, six-layered, malted ooey gooey goodness. Little did we know. :) The cake turned out to be a little less than we'd anticipated; the icing, however, was out of this world. We learned some tips of the trade and definitely had a ball in the process.

Here a few pics for your enjoyment:

The boys contributed the marshmallow man topper.

Don't worry; the bottom two layers are only slightly larger than the top four. :o)

While the cake may not have tasted as delectable as we'd anticipated, our appetite for baking has only just begun. Next on the list: a lemon-blueberry cake. Any taste-tester takers?
