Birthday Cake

My parents have the same birthday, just 3 years apart. Since Elizabeth is convinced that it's just not a birthday if there isn't cake, we made them chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting for their birthday - and Elizabeth did ALL the baking. She did all the measuring, pouring, and mixing by herself (even the egg and cocoa powder!). I simply supervised and cleaned up as we went along! It was very messy - and we need to buy more salt as half the canister ended up in the sink - but she was very proud of herself.
