This looks like it has a really nice texture in the photo--too bad it wasn't what you'd hoped for (and I am in awe of your self-control, waiting till the next day to even sample!). The band name is great, though I must admit that in my case, chocolate cake is not usually my friend (sniff). <BR/><BR/>(PS Re: your comment on my blog--would love to know how you accomplished that suitcase of lost weight!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-75661393974430656612008-03-03T01:18:00.000+11:002008-03-03T01:18:00.000+11:00Great entry for the event!
