Piece o' Cake

Sometimes what you need on a snowy night is a warm, beautifully decorated chocolate cake. It helps to ward of the blues that come with the reality of many more weeks of winter when all you want is sunny spring days. It also presented a great excuse for me to try out my new cake stencils from Leslie. I have had my eye on some of Martha Stewart's lovely stencils for some time, but they always seem to be out of stock online. Leslie found these at a Macy's and now I can sugar dust cakes to my heart's content.

The powdered sugar flowers on this cake definitely made the it a tastier treat and the best part was the mere seconds they took to create! --Michelle
