Happy birthday, Kansas! What a great way to instill pride in your kids–and those lucky neighbor kids–for where they live. I grew up in St. Louis and even though I love living in Chicago now, St. Louis still tugs at me. Similarly, a colleague at work is from Detroit. If you just mention Detroit’s name around him, he’ll launch into a five-minute impassioned litany of all the positive energy and developments there. There are many, by the way–don’t count this once proud city out just yet. Pride of place is good.

Tanna - Thank you! Our neighborhood is very much like that. We have spontaneous gatherings all the time.

Asha - Thank you!

KB - You are too funny! Thanks!

Rachel - It isn't supposed to be blue. The lighting was off and it was either that pic or no pic, so I went with the dark, dark black/blue pic!

Sher - We do have a lot of fun!

TW - LOL! I missed that version I think ;)

Gattina - I love sunflowers too.

Jeff - Thanks! Its not healthy, but it is fun!

Elizabeth - You still have plenty of time to learn. Since you are new there, you have a good excuse.

Patricia - Thanks :) She was quite excited about it.

Lisa - Well, where have you been? ;)

Jenifer - It would probably melt by the time it got there, otherwise I would!

Freya - I know... this cake is soooo bad for you! Cool Whip is just like whipped cream, only thicker I think. Do you have Dream Whip there?

Susan - Like I said, I never turn down a chance to bake something!

How cool is that name for a cake? And how cool of a mom are you? Such a sweet post!

Hi! I love the idea of a cake with zero nutritional content and a the name Dirt Cake! It sounds wonderful! Fun for Hallowe'en too! We don't have cool whip over here in the UK though :( so not sure what I'd use instead?
Happy B'Day to Kansas too! I drove through there once and was given some free cookies in a Subway so my experience has been good!
