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...
