Better-than-sex Cake

One thing I had realized over the last couple years is that birthdays change. Eventually, there are no more balloons, no more streamers, no more party hats and no more swimming parties with all your friends. Even the little annoying blowy things that look like a frog’s tongue are gone. Now I’m not complaining. I would be a little embarrassed if all that came back when I turn 25. What I’m saying is that birthdays just aren’t that special when you get older. My parents would rather not be reminding that they are another year closer to dentures and canes. 

I turned 22 on September 12^th. The night before, my mom and I went to the mall where I picked out the shoes and clothes that I wanted. I got a call from my dad, who was in Mesquite, Nevada for a conference and from my mother-in-law as well. I went to work and went to class like the big girl that I am. I coached my 13 year old sister’s soccer game (we won, happy birthday to me!). My mom brought cupcakes to the game and gave them to the girls to celebrate my birthday. I felt a little childish, like a 13 year old. We went home and opened a couple presents, I studied for class and then went to bed. 

All in all, it was a pretty good birthday. Except for one thing. I didn’t have a birthday cake! Its not a birthday without the birthday cake! So three weeks later, my mom taught me how to make my favorite cake. Better-than-sex cake.

I’ll walk you through it. This is what you’ll need:

A box of Chocolate cake mix (Devil’s Food chocolate is my favorite)

1 jar of caramel (Mrs. Richardson brand is best, 2^nd best is the Hershey’s brand)

1 can of Sweetened condensed milk

Whipping cream

A couple Score candy bars

Alright, cook the cake mix as directed. While you let the cake cool, pour one can of sweetened condensed milk and the caramel in a pot over the stove. Heat and stir until well mixed. Now that the cake has cooled, take the handle of a rubber spatula (or something that is about ½-1 in wide) and poke holes in the cake. Don’t be timid, stab that cake! Even I can’t mess this part up. The holes should be about  1 inch apart. After you have finished, pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cake. Put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Spread the whipped cream over the cake. Crush the Score candy bars into small pieces and sprinkle over the whipped cream. Ta da!! You have Better-than-sex cake! Enjoy and decide for yourself!
