I made that cake after the Christmas Parade and frosted it right before the party. It was an marbled oil-cake with coconut oil, and the yellow part turned out great. What should have been the marbling chocolate brown part turned into an unfluffy compact mass as soon as it touched the cacao powder. Lisa rescued me with the idea to bake it seperately and we called it a “brownnie-layer.” Even though it was a sweet and chocolaty brick I was very disappointed with that part.

For the actual sleepover, the girls slept in a big nest of pillows and blankets in 2 big tents we set up in the yard. For some it was their first camp out, and for others their first night away from parents. In the end, they all did great and didn’t wake up too early.<\/p>\n

Next morning we did crafts again… there are more party photos on Andy’s camera that I’ll post later.
