My eldest daughter celebrates her 11th birthday today! They grow up so quickly, but at 11 she is still my little girl. Her wish for today is a sleepover, thank goodness for the beautiful weather, as I have a tent erected in the garden-so they can make as much noise as they want (with in reason)! her second wish was for a chocolatey birthday cake, so I consulted my "500 Fabulous Cakes and Bakes" (by Ted Smart) book. She opted for the "best ever chocolate cake", which indeed is very chocolatey and I used about 18 eggs in the making (I only had little bantam eggs).The added embellishment of numerous bags of maltesers and 2 flakes, I think gives it that chocolaty edge! So we have renamed this cake "Chocowockyfantubulios" I only have about another 485 cakes in the book to try out.
Must go , have a barbeque on the go and cake to eat.
Happy Birthday Beautiful Daughter

What a wonderful cake! My daughter just tuned 11 too. It must be the in thing because that is what she had--a sleepover. Good thinking on you part to put them in a tent. I survived my daughter's--they actually were not all that noisy but they stayed up until about 4:00 am.
What a wonderful birthday for your precious daughter!
