chocolate {you capture}

I completely forgot about this week's You Capture theme, what with all the fun we've been having this past week.  So a few minutes ago, literally, while both girls are napping (I know, when does that EVER happen?), I ran to the kitchen and thought, "What chocolate do I have?"

I grabbed an almost empty bag of chocolate chips and tried to come up with a way to make them look interesting.  I ate at least a dozen of them.  Or two dozen.  Or maybe all of them.  I wasn't counting.

I also just happen to have a partially eaten chocolate cake on the counter.  Really.  I can't fake a half eaten chocolate cake.  I left it covered in its fancy cake stand.  Less chance of me eating it that way.  I think it looks like a pretty chocolate kaleidoscope.

How nice that my mother in law buys me fancy cake stands like this.  Because it if were left up to me, our cakes would be displayed on a fancy paper plate, though, it would taste all the same I suppose.

Want an fantastic chocolate cake recipe?  Use the one on the can of Hershey's cocoa powder.  It sounds obvious, but it is seriously so delicious.  And then use the white frosting recipe found here, which beats cream cheese frosting any day.  Unless you're talking about carrot cake, then stick with cream cheese frosting.  Believe me.  I don't joke about food.
