If you are a child of the sixties this cake might be familiar. It is the super bright, transcendental, fun flower, a.k.a the flower power cake. A sign of of peace and love in the sixties, and a sign a fun for young ladies who like girlie, bright and fantastic cakes in 2009.
This cake was made especially for a young lady who was celebrating a birthday in a really fun way, a slumber party. Of course you know when you have so many girls in a confined space and you hope they sleep, what you really want to do is feed them lots of cake. Yes, I am joking. What made this cake spectacular is that it was this young ladies first chocolate cake...ever. I grew up on chocolate cake. As a matter of fact there was no decision to be made when it came to birthday cakes in our house, they were chocolate with white icing and yellow roses. So when this young lady's mother informed me that this would be her first chocolate cake I was very excited, and might have gone a little overboard. Instead of a plain old devils food cake, I kicked it up a notch and went with butter fudge. There might not have been any sleep at the slumber party, but I bet they will have a time they will never forget.
