Birthday Cakes :-)

It was my brother's birthday this past Friday and he wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.  And I wanted to be able to eat the cake I made so: flour-less chocolate cake.  It was basically a super-chocolaty giant brownie - never a bad thing.  One of my aunt's refused to try it because she was afraid of the phrase 'gluten-free,' but the entire cake got eaten and everyone loved it!







This cake isn't gluten-free (so alas! I couldn't have any), but it came out so beautifully that I had to post it here.  I made it for a birthday at work and it's a Boston Cream Pie.  I even made the custard filling from scratch.  Which was not easy.  I've never even attempted to make custard before, but it was delicious (I totally ate a whole bunch of custard and frosting as I was baking...)  I'll have to make this cake again after Easter, anyone have a birthday coming up?
