Yesterday was my youngest son Tyler’s 13th Birthday. He is no longer my little boy, my tween …he is now officially a teenager! Yikes!! Where did the time go? Well …he will always be my little boy, my baby, my last born. For his Birthday my oldest son is down from Austin and we are spending the weekend at the beach. Yea!! But first, before we go, I am making him a Birthday cake. His request – Chocolate Cake with some kind of candy bar. Okay, I can do that …all the ingredients for chocolate cake and icing – check, Kit Kat for the candy and center topping – check. I present to you, for Tyler’s Birthday, Tyler’s Kit Kat Cake. Please do join us and have a slice. Yummy! 🙂
Wishing everyone a happy Fiesta Friday and weekend!
Until next time …
Happy Baking!
