Thanks for the link Fiddlesticks! I'm going to have to try some of those recipes. Awesome work putting these all together in one place. Thanks again!

I like the Darn Good Chocolate Cake recipe from the CakeMix Doctor book. You can find that at just about any book store.

"Failed miserably???!!!!"... I DON"T THINK SO! You just needed some rest. I think you did an awesome job. I won't even attempt a purse cake. So be proud of yourself for the great job you did!

Thanks everyone! Well, it's finally over. This turned out to be a fiasco at first, then it was all worth it in the end. The event almost got cancelled, then it was back on again.

Ok, it's back on again. We only have to make a small token cake. Now I can tell who it's for... it's for Mario Lopez!! Smile

I have one last question. What do you use when making chocolate shav ...

These are all wonderful ideas. Unfortunately, you aren't going to believe this! They just called and said that I might not get to do the cake now!! All of the clubs they have called in the area said ...

It's his birthday celebration with some of his friends. Something chocolate maybe with kahlua sounds good too. I appreciate your ideas.

You guys crack me up! Laughing
