Chocolate cake |
I am making this today by special request from a young man in this household.
My adorable son, Sir Scoffs-A-lot. (A name given to him by his Auntie Sammy, because he is always snacking)
He made me write down the words Chocolate Cake on a piece of paper when he went to bed so that we wouldn't forget to make his favorite cake
I think he sees me writing too many lists, I am such a list maker and he is picking up on that
So waiting for us this morning was the note
and by request of Sir Scoffs-A-Lot
