Big Birthday Kisses

First I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my DH, and many, many more!
Second that German Chocolate Cake I made for his birthday was probably the best cake I've ever made!
The "re-vamped" recipe from Cooks Illustrated really change my opinion of German Chocolate Cake. It was really flavorful. They said that the german's chocolate traditionally used is more sugar than chocolate. The substitution made all the difference. That and toasting the pecans for the filling.
On the bead front I did get a little bit of beading in. I'm making a bracelet for a friend of my sister's. She saw the one I gave my sis for Christmas and wanted one just like it. I tweaked it slightly, by using slightly different shades of the same colors. I'll post pictures before I mail it out later this week.
Oh and just a note the cherub in the header IS NOT for valentines day it's to celebrate the love of my life's B-Day!
