Michelle Obama Gets Chocolate Cake

Michelle Obama and Barack Obama
Michelle Obama got to sink her teeth into a Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake for Valentine's Day. The cake, a $40 gift from her sweetie, President Barack Obama, was a "moist & fudgy brownie cake ... enrobed in rich chocolate, then ... completely blanketed with a shower of dark chocolate shaves." It was also topped with "milk and dark chocolate glazes drizzled all over and [a] Belgian chocolate plaque." Oh. My. Goodness.

The First Lady's cake arrived early (February 4) due to security reasons, so I'm betting the sweet treat is long gone. And Michelle is likely in the gym working off the overload of calories that came with her perfect present (which happened to come with the message "I Love You"). Knowing how attentive Michelle is to diet and fitness, though, I wouldn't be surprised if she ate just a slice and shared the rest.

Bake Me a Wish had the honor of baking the Obama cake. And while they advertise their "cakes for every occasion," we suggest you minimize your cake-eating occasions. It's Valentine's Day -- so go ahead and have some. Then get back to healthy eating and get your butt back on that treadmill.
