Happy Birthday to Frank!

It's Frank's birthday and he's 51.

Holy cow, that's old.

I made him a homemade german chocolate cake.

That's his favorite kind

and I made one for his big 50th birthday surprise party in Oregon.

It was one of the best tasting cakes I've ever made

even though it's time consuming.

So to prove my true love and devotion

I made it again this year.

Before adding the chocolate frosting

After the frosting

 We had a low key day.

Frank likes quiet get togethers more than big parties

so it was just the family.

 I forgot to buy candles!

So we had to improvise with candles I had on hand...not the perfect cake candles, that's for sure.

Frank's big gift?

 A blendtec blender!

He loves to make milkshakes and complains about my blender

every time he uses it.

So now he's all set.
