I am going to be a year older..Do I like it?..Does anybody??

Okay so here I am sitting in front of the computer trying to write my first ever blog..yeah I know all you seasoned bloggers will think..honey well that's how we started!..Anyway ..to cut a long story short..I am here to ramble..like many of my fellow bloggers..but still an amateur..

Well the reason for starting a blog is one being...that I follow some of the food blogs..and I love to cook..and am a decent cook..:)

So here I am..I want to bake a cake on my birthday..which is very soon..and I am looking for a good chocolate cake recipe..For some reason this birthday feels very different..the enthusiasm is lacking..not the usual euphoria that I usually myself create a week before my birthday..For some reason I have not even gotten myself to go to the salon and do the usual beautification that I go through before my birthday..oh well..enough...

So to start with I am looking for a recipe for a chocolate cake with good icing..usually the icing that I have tried either melts too fast or becomes too creamy..I could might as well buy a Betty Crocker cake mix..but now that I have sometime I would like to indulge in some cake making..at least it will get me excited:)...
