Today is The Awesome Husband's birthday (hooray! three cheers! confetti and noisemakers!), and this is his cake. Per his request, it's a banana cake with chocolate frosting.
You'll note that I took the swirled-with-the-back-of-a-spoon approach to the frosting. I have the knowledge and supplies to do decorative piped frosting around the edges, but I simply didn't have TIME for that. Christmas card, shopping, and decorating season isn't piping season. I-have-a-cold season isn't really piping season either.
I'll just have to hold out hope that it's really, really delicious.

Happy b'day to the Awesome Husband! I think we determined last year that this is Awesome Man Day, as it's my dad's b'day too. :)
Yes, we did! Happy birthday to your dad as well7
Thank you! That cake is going to taste so good! Mmmmmmm bananas and chocolate!
Happy Birthday
that cake looks killer, I want two of them
Hope you showed him a great day
Yeah, the cake was actually sort of dense, more like a pound cake, but apparently that's his preference for cake anyway.
The BIG hit, though, was the encyclopedia of beer I gave him: The Oxford Companion to Beer. The reaction was priceless. None of his Christmas gifts will even compare (should've thought it through before I set the bar so high ;)).
