I love the avocado cake! What did you use for the outer texture? (My guess is Cocoa Pebbles.) It's been a long time since my kids have wanted special cakes like that, and I kind of miss it. My best cake achievement was an aircraft carrier cake. Happy birthday to your daughter!

Crushed Oreos! I took out the cream to keep it dark. Usually my kids ask for ice cream sundaes, so I was delighted to make a cake. An aircraft carrier sounds amazing! Thank you, Barb!!!

I'm so excited about the book! Thank you!

On the subject of dog names, we went for a Tolkien name, and ended up with Beorn, because the dog sort of resembles a man-bear. We love the name, but it also really confuses people when they meet him. In 5 years, I think 2 people have gotten the reference!

You're welcome!

Oh, great name! My boys would be so into that, ha! We were considering Thorin if we got a boy, but I think people would mistake it for Thor and that would bug me. We ended up with a girl . . . and a Tolkien name for her! More next time!
