Hello everyone! I was just reading someone's post in "Food and Health", the topic was chocolate. It reminded me of an incident I had with my TAG, Aries. Aries is 1.5 year old. I was off of work one day and home alone, bored, so I decided to make a nice chocolate on chocolate cake and surprise boyfriend when he got home later. I am a baker and I had the perfect recipe (if anyone would like to try it e-mail me ;D). So, I had just finished putting the last bit of icing on it and I turned to clean the spatula off and I heard, "whoosh whoosh whose." Aries was in my cake feet first before I had even turned around!! He looked like on of those poor seagulls that get caught in oil and seaweed! Of course I quickly grabbed him, stuck my finger in his mouth to get any chocolate out and ran him into the bathroom and showered him off. I didn't lock his cage properly. He had climbed out of the dish door. So my cake was ruined and there was chocolate cake and icing everywhere from him flapping while he was trapped in the cake. The cake was so moist that it had sort of sucked him in. I'm laughing as I'm writing this, but it was terrifying then. I thought surely he's be sick because there was no way he didn't ingest some of that cake. Well, all is well now and I make sure I lock his cage when I am making special things. So, I hope someone can enjoy this story! ;D

That was really funny, LMAO, funny. I would like to have seen that, it was scary in one way and really hilarious in another. Glad it turned out fine for Aries, yes you have to be sure you lock all the cage openings. I'm still laughing, I am kind of imagining that scene in my mind. Thanks for sharing that story.

Next time make Carrot Cake, watch carefully, and have a digital camera on hand! Probably be best if you can find a cream cheese alternative for the froasting, and and use the cake
