The theme for this week’s Project 52 is LOVE, and, in our house, nothing says love more than German Chocolate cake!

Today is my husband’s birthday- number 62! He has always loved German Chocolate cake, first his Grammie’s recipe, and then mine (doctored with LOTS of chocolate chips). It is baking now- and ohhhh I’m starting to smell the chocolatiness- YUM! Happy Birthday, Lonnie! ❤
Photography note: I must confess that I played with photographing the batter dripping off the beater first- with no spectacular results. That is why I used such a high shutter speed and thus had a wide open aperture, causing shallow depth of field. Too shallow for this photo, in my opinion- my punishment for my obsession with drops!

Yum! I can smell it all the way in Antelope! Your recipe sounds scrumptious. I think the depth of field is great. Just a few chips in focus. Nice composition, too.
Personal note: Ron’s favorite was German Chocolate; we always celebrated our August birthdays with a single German Chocolate Cake midway between Aug. 2 and Aug. 12!
happy birthday to your husband. I am sure you guys will enjoy this amazing Cake 🙂 send me a piece 🙂
Wish we there to taste the cake. It definitely looks yummy.
Personally, I like the beater shot!
Love the beater photo!
