My friend, Missy, has asked me to trade "date night babysitting" for treats - UM, OKAY!! :) I love baking and am trying to do it less for our house so I don't eat as much, so this is a great swap for me...I get to bake, try new things and take it to her :) Her 30th birthday party (80's theme, purple & silver) was last night and for her cake, she asked me to make chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. The funny thing is, I hate cream cheese - there are very few things I would actually say that I "hate" but cream cheese (and blueberries) are at the top of the list. SO, I told her I would try it. Luckily, most everyone else likes cream cheese, especially in frosting, so it's not hard to find my taste testers.
