Just a note on the chocolate birthday cake.

It was one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. I baked it in a 13x9x2, stuck it in the freezer for a bit (thanks, Mar) then cut it in thirds. Did one layer with a vanilla buttercream, one layer with raspberry buttercream and iced the whole thing with the most delicious chocolate frosting ever.

Needless to say, it went over spectacularly well!

Thanks to all of you who helped me with it.

O.K., I'm inspired now. Hope to have time to do my cherry version since it sounds like a big hit.

Cyn, what frosting did you end up using? And here's the cake link again for anyone interested >>

The perfect chocolate frosting in the link. Used different fillings, though.
