chocolate sheetcake.

this is an all time favorite of mine. i love this cake way too much and always feel extremely guilty when i make it because i just eat it. probably a good half of it actually. it's nicknamed "strip cake" because the best way to eat it is just cutting a little strip at a time. of course more cake is consumed this way but it makes one feel better for eating so much. i also love this cake because there is plenty of space to decorate. this week i decided to turn my cake into a missionary name tag for my best friend rachel anderson. i did it too fast and didn't use a tip so it wasn't my best work, but it was still fun.
