Cake. Not the band.

I just had the best kosher cake ever! It was moist chocolate with icing that tasted exactly like cotton candy. Tasty stuff. It came to us from a bat mitzvah someone had on the weekend and its arrival nicely coincided with my birthday today. And tonight there’s the chocolate Oreo cheesecake I made last night! Add the apple pie from the weekend and it’s a dessert overdose! All I had last year were rainbow cupcakes. But I’m not complaining! I did get a $100 Best Buy gift card from someone who really shouldn’t have, but probably wants me to shut up about getting an Ipod!
