Cake Disaster

We are going to friends' for dinner tonight and I was in charge of bringing dessert.  Steve works all weekend, so Wm and I walked to the store and got all the stuff to make the vegan chocolate cake that Wm LOVES.  We walked home and painstakingly made the cake.  It was all done, I was taking it out of the oven, then this happened...
Yup. I dropped it. 
I was quite sad - and Wm thought it was hilarious.  So I then decided to invent "Cory's Mudslide Cake." The frosting is melted chocolate chips and coconut cream - when it's melty it's totally liquid.  Then it sort of solidifies into a mousse-like consistency.  So I salvaged what cake I could, roughly chunked it up, and mixed it with the liquid frosting.  When it sets, it should be like a mousse-y cake-coction. It won't be pretty…but it will be delicious.  And I am totally pretending like I did the whole thing on purpose when I arrive with it this evening.

Wm and I also went to Target because his lunch bag is disintegrating.  He is currently OBSESSED with Minecraft (just like every other boy between the ages of 6 and 11).  We found a Minecraft lunchbox and he found some weird Minecraft folding paper thing.  He so sadly set it back on the shelf, I couldn't resist giving him an Easter Sophie's Choice.  I told him he gets a present for Easter, but then the candy haul will be next to nil (he isn't really into sweets anyway) - so he could choose an early Easter present or candy on Easter.  Of course, Wm chose present.  I don't think he regrets it….
Very pleased.
It is GORGEOUS outside - sunny and 72.  Next on the agenda is riding the scooter to the playground and running around like a wild man.
