Congratulations Dave and Nicki!


Yes, it is true. Two of our good friends, David and Nicki, are about to have a little baby girl! Today was Nicki's baby shower and I was fortunate enough to be able to make the cake.

Nicki is your classic and traditional kind of girl who loves chocolate and white (or yellow) cakes and that is exactly what she got!


With the way that the batter turned out, I ended up doing a three layer cake. The bottom layer was a white cake with vanilla frosting, then came chocolate with chocolate, and topped with a white and chocolate.  
Now I have to admit that I began to run out of time because the day before I didn't prep as much as I could have, and possibly even should have so I wasn't 100% completely satisfied but I was content. Lucky for me, everybody at the shower seemed to love it.


One mistake I did make though, I misspelled Sofia's name! Up until three days ago, I could have sworn that Sofia was with an "f", but then I started doubting myself and then convinced myself that no, they had decided on "ph". Hah, yeah, I should have gone with my first instinct. Whoops. Luckily for me, the parents to be told me not to worry, and that they themselves had had that discussion about which letter to use. Just goes to show you, when in doubt, check it out!

Wow, I never thought of that either; except that I have always thought it was spelled like the famous actress, Ms. Loren. Either way, it was way too cute & Puppy Man <3'd it b/c his Sophia (I think) spells her name just like the one on the cake! I am very impressed w/ your culinary arts, Sissy ~ but, actually, should I have ever expected anything less? (Are Dave & Nicki the ones w/ the "little dog, too"?) :D
