I had extra little helpers in the kitchen when I made this year's Father's Day cake, and I think it came out that much sweeter...
It's a simple chocolate cake with candy bar filling ~ which is the easiest way to make a cake fancy. Just crush two of your favorite candy bars (we used Skor bar, which is butter toffee covered in chocolate, like a Heath bar) into tiny tiny bits, and mix into your favorite frosting. Spread it between the cake layers... yum. (Slice two cake layers into 4 thin layers to make it really fancy.) Now close your eyes and imagine your fave candy bar in there... which one would you choose?
Well the recipient of this cake couldn't deserve it any more. He definitely takes our award for father of the year. Husband of the year. Favorite person of the year. He's pretty popular around here. And besides the cards and presents that seemed to particularly please this Father's Day, I did finish (just in time) three "milk & cookie" mats for my three cookie monsters.
One for daddy...
Nicholas...
and Olivia...
Better than paper plates. Reusable, washable, and handmade with love. I'll try to get the template done up as soon as possible.
And I'll say one more time to my Dad and husband... Happy Father's Day. Love you guys...
