Happy Birthday! Have your cake and....

eat it too! (I'll get back to that...) It's my sister Jill's birthday today and was Eric's yesterday. Sorry about the radio silence for the last couple months... I have two pathetic excuses: 1. I'm a little bit lazy about blogging and 2. I have misplaced the cord for my camera, so the pictures are stuck in it. I'm working on resolving that. Anyway, I think I can speak for Eric that he had a great birthday. I took him out for sushi and then we went over our friends Nick & Leah's house to share his cake.
The cake was a little experiment that turned out really well! I had been searching for a healthier alternative to regular cake, and I discovered that you can make a cake with only a cake mix and a can of diet soda! Here's the link that explains it. It was delicious and it would have gone undetected had I not spilled the beans.Nick made Eric an extra-special one of a kind birthday card. Thanks, Nick.
