Ahhhh-Mazing Chocolate Cake!

First of all, I must credit the success of this creation to my friend and
inspiration, Monica. This is a recipe she first featured on her blog

This cake is delicious; however, it is not meant to rise very
high. Therefore, I doubled the recipe since my cake is for a special
young lady who is celebrating her 15th birthday this weekend

And for a cake that's going to stand center-stage
at her surprise party, height is a requirement!

Originally, this was to be a pink buttercream cake with green dots - because
those are the birthday girl's party colors. However, after I shared the instant
Fudge Frosting recipe Monica posted, well, party-girl's mom was hooked!

So I put the beautiful buttercream between my four layers!

And, used it to dot the cake!

I sure hope the Birthday girl loves her cake...

As much as our sweet Bing does!
Thanks, Monica. I couldn't have done this without you!

    Your cake is stunning and let me tell you how PERFECT your frosting job is. You are amazing my friend.

    I can only imagine how wonderful that cake is. That is my favorite cake, and frosting recipes. Add some strawberries on the side and I bet it's heaven. oh yum!

    I'm sure the birthday girl will be quite pleased.

  6. I have to agree with Haden News you are a very sweet friend!! The cake tasted as amazing as it looked! Hannah was very pleased and so was everyone else. I already have a request for a yellow cake with the same fudge icing. Oh and Paul says he wants a Harley Davidson cake lol I told him he would have to settle for a Harley cake topper! And the cookies were great too!
