Personal Notes:
Chocolate cake with chocolate icing is my favorite cake, and I like to have it every year for my birthday. It brings a lot of fond memories of sitting in a chair and listening to friends and family sing "Happy Birthday." It brings to mind of the many fun times I've had at all my birthday parties.
