Thanks for the Tea Courtney!! 
How about some cake? They say it is German Chocolate Cake!!
Anke?? Anke?? Where is she to verify if this is authentic!! 


Like Anke, I've never seen cakes like these, too. Esp. the first one looks very uncommon to me. I think most people in Germany bake chocolate cake in a rectangular form. It's called "Kastenkuchen"
This looks like (half of) a chocolate cake to me:

Hey, Anke!
We have BBQ tonight, too

But no guests today, just the five of us. 10 minutes ago my kids were playing in the garden like yours.
It was about time for the weather to get warm and sunny.
