She love to cook too, so we made a amazing chocolate cake! (called "Delicious death") we got the recipe from Agatha Christie's cooking book (with all the recipes from her books...it's wonderful!) this one was from her book "A murder is announced". It was delicious and really easy!
It was a great party, a lot of people showed up and we had a great time.
She's planning a "Tea party" next week, so i guess we're making cupcakes and muffins and some other things!...yumm!
