I corralled the ingredients ~
I was pleasantly surprised when the cakes came out of the pans as promised ~
and I was able to apply the peanut butter/cream cheese frosting without incident ~
The chocolate glaze pooled onto the plate more than it was supposed to ~
but I consider this project a success. The cake is setting up in the fridge to be enjoyed when we all get together tomorrow night. I will have no problem scooping extra chocolate onto each plate and calling it "presentation." Oh, there was a bit of chocolate left over that I will need to use up later on Breyer's vanilla ice cream....
Merry Christmas everyone!

Great looking cake there! We made a chocolate cake this afternoon, can't wait for Christmas dessert :)
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas, and all best in the New Year!
well you whipped that us like it was nothing, didn't you. What a beautiful cake, enjoy!
Have a wonderful holiday with your family.
Peace and Happiness in the New Year!

Extra chocolate pooling on the plate? I have a little trouble calling that a "mistake." Sounds (and looks) delish. Happy birthday, Kristen!
Yum, Sharon...Maine isn't so far away...I want a slice! Apparently you are a cake baker!
bright blessings and happy birthday to your daughter.

Sharon, I'd love a piece of that cake! It looks scrumptious, and it says a lot about you that you'd do that for your daughter!
Merry Christmas!
the cake was delicious!
and, for the record: I had NO DOUBT that she'd be able to make it! She doesn't give herself enough credit when in the kitchen. (though next year I suppose I'll ask for something a bit simpler to give her a full year off.)
That looks amazingly delicious! Have a wonderful holiday season Sharon and family! You do underestimate yourself alot!
How did your family like it? Most importantly, you liked it, because you did a FABULOUS job!
Merry Christmas. What a fun post. Does your daughter like having a Christmas Eve birthday? Cake looks yummy!
