Two furry characters, one catchy tune, and a friendship that makes it through it all is what graphic artist Steve Cowden’s adorable new animation short is about. The resident of Lake Oswego said the idea for the cute little song “Chocolate Cake And Ice Cream” came as the family was grieving from the death of his nephew last December.
“My son, Trent, began spontaneously playing a sentimental tune on the piano. My twin brother, Scott, joined in with singing the words ‘chocolate cake and ice cream.’ The silly words seemed to lighten our heavy hearts.” Everyone started singing in harmony, and the jingle just stuck.
