June's cake and Peurto Rico

Our friends, the Hill's, are in town from Houston, Texas so I made them the Martha's June cake and they taught us a new game called Puerto Rico. It's a strategy game (which Cory and I like), and it's soooo much fun. It's kind of hard to explain how to play, but if you ever get the chance to play it, I highly recommend that you do. I think I'm going to by it at www.funagain.com, then we can teach the whole family how to play. It's kind of like Settlers, but different. It is fun though.

How does everyone like my pie plate? I don't have a cake stand, so I flipped a glass pie pan upside down and used it as one so that my cake could look beautiful.

We had so much cake left-over that we invited Krista and Madison over to try it. Krista said she didn't know if she was going to make it. We didn't add as much flour as teh directions said, which made the cake dense and fudg-like. It did have a wierd texture though. We all loved the frosting though. We thought it was the best part of the cake.
