for my 2 favorite boys! yup, october is coming up, and since i no longer live near long and ryan, i figured i'd shower them with gifts this past weekend when i hung out with their family at the beach. they had tried my gingersnaps during their visit to philly on labor day weekend and loved them, so i figured i'd make them their own batch of gingerthins, which are essentially just skinny gingersnaps. (i also wanted to try something new, since i make gingersnaps for the rents so often!) the dough looked like poo, although the cookies were tasty.
too tasty. i ate so many of them that the kids didn't end up with as many as i had hoped. oops. 
for their cake this year, i baked a marble ring cake and kept the chocolate icing on the side for everyone to add as they liked. 
long loves chocolate and ryan loves vanilla (but rather dislikes things that are too chocolatey), and since they were sharing their bday celebration with me this year, the timing was perfect for a combined cake. 
marble cakes are fun to prepare, as you alternate between spooning white cake and chocolate cake into the cake pan. happy birthday, boys!
