Carnival Birthday Party

My big boy Lucas just turned 5-years old on Saturday. I can’t believe it. This year we made a carnival themed party which was his idea. I love it because he was involved in the planning of his own party. The first thing he asked “make my favorite cake in the whole world” He was talking about THIS classic chocolate cake. This has been his favorite cake since he first had it. I don’t blame him, that chocolate cake is just amazing. 

Fudgy Brownies, Seriously Good!

I love this recipe, the brownies come out just the way I like it: Fudgy, chocolaty, moist and crusty. I don’t think I will change this recipe. Ever. Why would I? They are just perfect. I tested this recipe a few times until I got the perfect consistency and baking time I was happy with. Not only did I make this recipe a few times but it got the approval of a bunch of kids and that, my friend, is the ultimate test.
