Chocolate Chip Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting Today my niece Daiel turns 14 years old! Although we will not be in the same state on this special day, I decided to make a birthday cake in her honor.
Daiel is an aspiring singer & songwriter and I love her to death. She is an amazing daughter, sister, niece and friend. Its hard not living close, thank the Lord for Facebook & YouTube, Daiel is constantly posting photo's and video's that keep me updated & brighten up my days :-)
Just like my niece this cake is beautiful inside and out! I decided on a blue shade for the frosting because Daiel is intelligent & loving. The sprinkles represent her creativity and vibrant personality!
Inside you will find a super moist chocolate cake with a special CHOCOLATE Chip surprise.
Happy Birthday Daiel I hope you have an amazing 14th Birthday Day!
