Yummy Chocolate Birthday Wishes

I hope you all like my blog's new look! I am so thrilled with how it turned out! It's exactly what I wanted and she finished it in about a week! I highly recommend Pamela if you're in the market! Her link is at the bottom of my blog.

This little beauty's photograph does not do her justice! My camera set up doesn't work well for tall cards I'm afraid. I still hope you can get an idea of how pretty it is. The cake is topped with shiny dark chocolate. I love to use that for chocolate confections! This paper is out of one of the huge stack pads at Micahel's and I love it. It's so soft and elegant.
