To me, the best kind of cake marks celebration. Big or small, it's an exclamation point on time well spent. Nostalgic and celebratory at once. I don't know why exactly, but this one, the chocolate chip mint, (recipe below) makes me feel ten again. With a fondness for swing sets and birthday parties and backyard pools. For watermelon slices (with seeds) and summers gone by. For punch through straws and cheezies in a bowl. For paper plates and plastic forks and eating lunch outside. And for cake, simply for the sake of it. xo, N _________ [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:19] Photo by Michael Graydon + Nikole Herriott, food & recipe by Tara O'Brady all for Kinfolk Magazine
