Last weekend I had folks in the garden for our annual CANCERAMA!

I know, odd title - but we're astro geeks and we've got a lot of wonderful, watery crabs who live in Chicago.

I used the event as an excuse to make my best cake, a triple chocolate layer cake with chocolate butter-cream frosting (recipe credit to Cedar of NM who gave this to me during Feri training). I got creative and made a little crab out of fruit as decoration. I was particularly pleased with myself and secretly gloated over his cute little raisin eyes.

Hey...it's the little things.
