Where's the fire extinguisher?!?!?!

Ok...so we had cake and ice cream for my 25th (plus 8) birthday. The boys and I made a yummy yummy cake and they INSISTED on having candles. Ugh. Candles. Well...as you can see we almost burnt the house down with the HUGE fire! HUGE! It was a moment. No my tears did not put out the candles. (at least not that I'll admit.)


For my birthday my wonderful, sweet, amazing, very cute (I admit it he's sexy ) husband gave me my own portable dvd player. So now, I can take it with me and watch a movie anywhere I want! YEAH! I'm sure he'll regret it next time we're traveling up to Idaho and I whip it out with A&E's Pride and Prejudice. It will almost be heaven!

I also received a cook book complied from wards all over the world. It is FANTASTIC! We found the cake recipe in it that we used tonight.

Snickers Cake (sounds good doesn't it!!)
Here is the recipe--in my own words since its in the other room and I'm to lazy to go get it because I'm full of cake.
Take a chocolate cake mix and mix it like instructed.
Pour half of it into a greased pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350*.

While its baking, melt a large bag of caramels (12 oz bag), 1/3 cup milk and 1/2 cup butter.
Melt it all together until smooth.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and pour the caramel mixture on. Followed by a cup of crushed nuts (we used almonds) and a cup of chocolate chips. Then pour the rest of the cake batter on top.

Bake at 200* for 20 minutes, then 375* for 10 minutes.
After it cools, you can frost it. It was really good, and really rich. But so easy to make!
