For my birthday, my mom made two cakes: a hummingbird cake and a chocolate layer cake. Imagine my surprise when she cut into the chocolate cake and it was checkered! Lovely and delicious. Mom said she wanted a cake pan like this when she was younger, but never got one. She saw one in a catalog and decided it would be a lot of fun. She was right!

Yummy! And three candles for health, wealth and happiness...
