Smartening Up a Chocolate Cake
I don't have cake-decorating skills or even a functioning pastry bag, but give me a stack of Oreos and I can make a chocolate cake look smart! If Bella helps.
My daughter is at the Culinary Institute of America studying to be a pastry chef and I have come to find that (after 33 years of marriage and 4 children) apparently we own none of the proper tools or equipment for baking. The pastry bag comment made me laugh. I use plastic or zip lock bags with the corner cut off. You know what though? Your cake looks delicious and that's all that really matters!
Not only did it look great, it tasted great too! Thanks for making it for Fred's party.

Kind of a low-profile version of the Sydney Opera House. :D Sure looks yummy.
