Wow it has been 2 months since my last post. Sorry about that!
I didn't go all out for Valentine's Day. I made some brownies which my family enjoyed. I don't make brownies often but I don't really know why. And truthfully I made a boxed mix. It had real chocolate chips in it which made it even more yummy.
I made a Cherry Cola Chocolate cake for my DH birthday. I am bad about getting pictures posted. I did a very basic traditional icing job on it. (the Knife swirl). Here is the link to the original recipe which was for Cupcakes but I wanted to make it as a cake. Wasn't a difficult transition.
The big difference, obviously, was that I baked it in a 3" pan instead of cupcake liners and tin. I also used the cherry pie filling between the layers of cake.

I didn't make the glaze and iced it with Buttercream icing. I think it would have been a nice touch if I had added strawberry flavouring, to the icing. Strawberry flavouring is now on my shopping list :)
I was gifted 3 boxes of different flavours so I am going to attempt to use them. So I should have some interesting cakes coming out in the next few month.
On my list of cakes that I want to make is a Neapolitan 5 Layer cake. Once I have tried it I will post the recipe.
