Quick post: Surprise!!

There was a discussion in our household the other day regarding what the Hubby and I do as far as chores and whatnot. Somehow the comment, "You never bake for me!" sprung about, from whom, I can't say. :-P Now, to preface this post, my Hubby is not the baker in the house. He is the requester of baked goods, the watch-me-bake-to-see-the-process-guy, and the occasional assistant. Put succinctly, if a bakery will be named after anyone in this house, it's going be me! So considering all the facts, did I think this discussion was going to lead to a baking epiphany on the husband's end? Heck no! The fact he responded, "You're the baker," really clinched the deal.

Hence my utter, sheer SURPRISE when I got home from babysitting this past Saturday night at 1am to grab some iced tea, and WHOA! There was a double layer chocolate cake 100% from scratch (chilling out in our fridge!! When I tell you I was surprised, this was like, my boyfriend is proposing surprise. In fact, I might have been more excited about this cake ;) Y'all know me and my chocolate obsession. So...the hubby baking...chocolate cake...for ME?? Woo!! I kept saying, "Thank you, baby!" over and over and over. Happy, surprised, you name it. Maybe it's not a big deal to most people, but it meant a lot to me for him to go out of his comfort zone to do something like that. I love my husband!!

We dug in despite it being very late, and he did a deliciously wonderful job! Two slices later, I was full, happy, and ready for bed. And now, I wait to dive in once again. I told him he did too well since now I'm going to have a list of requests from Ken's Bakery :)
