Cake 1: Devil’s Food Cake with Coconut Pecan Icing

Here’s cake number one: My birthday cake, made by my daughter E (with some assistance from my husband.)  I had planned on making myself a pumpkin pecan cake—which had sort of become the traditional cake for my birthday—but my little E was so intent on making me a cake herself…She concocted a plan to get me out of the house so she could surprise me.  She had her brother, C, lure me out of the house to the library.  E and C knew I’d be reluctant to leave the library once I was there, thus giving E and my hubby ample time to concoct their confection and surprise me.

So, though it wasn’t made by me, and it’s from a box, it was a charming cake, made with love (and some sneakery.)  Cake one down.  33 more to go!
