A Beefcake Birthday!

We celebrated a birthday with Mike yesterday. I don't remember how old he is, so we stuck 9 candles on the cake. I made it myself! What do you think?

Well - this cake has a little secret... Mike is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy, but he does love chocolate and sweet things too.

The secret ingredient to this cake was...

are you ready?

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes!

Robb got the idea for this recipe on the same site that gave us the Bacon Explosion recipe, which he also made yesterday for Mike. Here's the pic of that...

Mike was fooled and didn't realize what kind of a cake it was when he blew out the candles. I'm sure he thought we were strange when we made him cut the first slice out of it. The girls or myself usually do that... He did say that after the first slice, the cake gave off a smell that was definitely not cake! And it was a bit tougher to cut through...

He was thrilled! However a little disappointed we hadn't brought a real cake too. To be quite honest, I was too... But Ada had ice cream on hand so we enjoyed that.

Maddy wondered why we were trying to kill him with greasy foods on his birthday. Well - his birthday isn't really until Tuesday!

So the beefcake got stuck into the fridge for their supper later that night.
