Here's my mother's Mocha Cake recipe. When she started to go downhill with lung cancer, I made her this cake for her birthday which she enjoyed.

Hello - any idea where I could buy Bret F a l k art/prints?
Hi, Anonymous,
I asked Bret's brother if he could advise you. He says, "Unfortunately, Bret never sold any paintings or made any prints, and so unless somebody wants to sell one of the paintings he gave to them, I'm not sure how this person could buy one."
He/she could purchase the comprehensive book of Bret's work, of course, "Bob Hope Is Dead", here: "http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/23368"
