not quite in my job description, part 2


We celebrate birthdays at the law firm with homemade treats. I volunteer to do the baking more often than not, because, well, I have a modest preference for my own baked goodness. Tomorrow's treat is a devil's food cake with homemade chocolate butter frosting. Slightly sweetened fresh strawberries between the layers and on top.

We had a birthday just one week ago, for which I baked an identical cake, except swap the strawberries for walnuts (which I self-servingly put only on top and kept as whole as possible so that I could avoid the nuts while I enjoyed my slice of cake).
