This weekend we're attending an art show and dinner put on as a fundraiser for Zoe's preschool. Each family was asked to provide a dessert. I made a chocolate cake. It's the same Hershey's Big Dark Chocolate Cake and frosting recipe I always use, so easy and delicious. This is a new shape, though, using two 8x8 pans. Perhaps a square will be easier than a round to cut into small and tidy pieces.
The children were well aware I was making chocolate things, and very interested in exactly when they would get their share. "The cake is not for us," I repeated several times. But all hope was not lost. Zoe, with the wisdom of 3 years and 11 months, knows that making frosting involves beaters and bowls and spatulas, and was sure there would be enough scrapings left for hungry children. Since I made a double batch, she was correct.
They were happy to eat the sweet stuff straight, but pretzels dipped in chocolate frosting are pretty good, too.

Yummy treats! I was wondering what you had decided to make for the dinner. A chocolate something was a given. It does seem to be the favored flavor. :-)
