I did this post and then I removed it but I've had people ask me where it was so I'm posting it again. I got the post from here:
I tried out the cake and it was awesome! So I decided to post the link here. It's I got it from one of the website links in my sidebar "Freebies for Crafters". She has some amazing things on there. Check it out. She's redone her site with an index listed along the side so you can go down the list to see if there's something you'd like to check out.
Now to the reason I deleted the post. I didn't realize it would still show up on other people's pages as a post after I removed it. I made the cake, as I said, and when my husband came home I gave him a taste of what little was left. When he said it was delicious I told him what was in it. He said "A whole egg and 2 Tbsp of butter in that little cup?" Then it hit me.... whoa... this thing is like a heart attack or stroke in a cup. There's also 1/4c chocolate chips. So I decided maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. I mean it's nice for a treat if about 4 people share it but for one person to eat the whole thing at one sitting? Yes, I admit it, it did eat almost the whole thing.
I love the look of it and the little bag is really neat. I suppose you could put candy or something in the bag rather than the cake mix. Or maybe you're more creative than I am and can come up with a cake that isn't quite so rich.
I've been quiet on here cause I've been doing other stuff. I'm trying to put my genealogy together so people can read it. What a lot of work! I've got 7 years of research! And all my family is really interested in is our direct line so I've been going through everything and tossing things that were interesting to me at the time but offshooting way off from the family.
My daughter also gave me a pair of pants to hem. I haven't sewn on anything aside from cotton for so long that I was a bit nervous but I think I did an okay job. It took some practise with stitches though to work on a stetchy type fabric. Once I did that successfully I've been going through the pile of pants I've been putting off hemming so I have a full days work ahead of me.

Hemming, huh? Yuck! It is sad, but I walk around with paper clips on my fallen hems because I hate hemming so much. And so you don't make the cake every week - I think it is OK to splurge every once in a while.
Hemming and mending, not my thing. The cake does sound good but way too rich. I guess it would be ok for a one time treat but not to eat all of it. I probably would have done the same thing as you because I love chocolate. Cute background.
I don't mind the egg so much, but 2 Tbls. of butter is a real indulgence. Are you sure this recipe didn't originate with Paula Deen? She's all about the butter!
What a great Mom you are to hem pants! Next time you can tell her that asking a quilter to hem a pair of pants is like asking Picasso to paint a house. LOL!
Your holiday background is cute, especially the reindeer.
