a homely birthday celebration

Brad's birthday was earlier this week, but as he was out of town for a job interview, we decided to celebrate this weekend. He wanted a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, not a combination I would have thought up on my own. To me, it looks very homely, but in a warm, comforting sort of way. It was nice to get back into the kitchen and bake something, and even nicer to do it for someone I love.
