Chocolate Cake

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Shelley and I wanted to bake a cake for Mr. Art @Home.  After we put away the St. Patrick's Day decorations, we set the breakfast table for dessert, and started baking!

We baked the chocolate cake from a gluten free mix.

I have used several products from this company, and I have liked them all!


We were very pleased with the results!  The cake is delicious.

We are enjoying spring break so much.  We have baked, created art, shopped, gone on walks, and enjoyed an afternoon at the library.  What have you been doing this week?

Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. That cake is too pretty to eat! The table is so so beautiful and springy! I have seen this brand at my Kroger and will definitely try it. They have a shortbread cookie mix I've been tempted to try since I cannot get Amy's here!! I'm having withdrawals!

  8. That is such a beautiful cake, Ricki Jill. I think it's wonderful that you & your daughter are enjoying Spring Break together. We spent a few hours today at our son's home watching our Grands enjoy their Spring Break at the pool. Hope you continue to have fun!

  9. Thanks! My mom hates the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free mixes, but she's only tried the muffins, so I didn't want to get the cake mixes and be disappointed. It helps, seeing someone else succeed with those. :)

  16. Sounds like you are enjoying the youngest being home this week. You set a lovely table with your gorgeous Mac-Kenzie Childs collection for your Mr. The cake turned out so pretty, I love the cake pan you use, looks like a flower! I have one I love that is a cathedral cake pan. I'm very interested in the gluten free mix. May I ask where you find those?
    Hope the rain is gone for the weekend. Have a good one.
