January 27th is National Chocolate Cake Day... need I say more? Visit this page to review some fun ways to celebrate as you homeschool your children or if you just want a fun picture to color on the computer - I had a blast with it!
http://allrecipes.com/Feeling creative? Go to one of my new favorite sites called All Recipes. You'll find hundreds of chocolate cake recipes from real people. You'll even find reviews and star-ratings for each recipe so you can get a variety of opinions on whatever recipe you are thinking of trying. Some reviewers even tell how they changed the recipe which is inspiring too. I could spend hours reading about all the yummy recipes on this site but if you don't have the time (and with Poppy and Sweet Pea I never do) here's a link to the top 20 chocolate cake recipes.
If you don't feel like messing up the kitchen or don't have time to run out for ingredients, why not treat yourself and head to your favorite bakery to pick up a little chocolate cake today? While I no longer live near Cupertino, CA, I must say that if I did, tomorrow would definitely include a detour to La Patisserie on Stevens Creek Boulevard. You could ask my mother-in-law (who, by the way makes the most incredible carrot cake on the planet) that this is a bakery that is head and shoulders above the rest. Whenever my in-laws come into town, we seem to find some reason to have something to celebrate just so we have an excuse to stop by and pick up one of their most popular cakes which just happens to be entirely make of chocolate. I'm talking chocolate cake, chocolate icing, chocolate filling...what could be better?! I know, maybe their individual desserts....
Whatever your chocolate cake obsession, enjoy and happy Chocolate Cake Day!
Thanks for this great post. I was looking for something decadent to soothe my nerves with. Yesterday was "Bloody Monday" and we lost about 80% of our department.
Chocolate sounds great to me!
