Birthday!

Today is my birthday yayyy! Although I really don't enjoy getting older, I do enjoy the celebrating!  Some years I make my own cake and when I don't, it usually comes from Carvel! Nothing like vanilla & chocolate ice cream with little crunchies in the middle! Last year I made myself a homemade yellow cake with sprinkles (funfetti style) with chocolate ganache..it was delicious.  This year I used a cake recipe that will be posted in a few days for the Club: Baked blogging group from the Baked Explorations cookbook and cut it into the shape of hello kitty's face…i'm slightly obsessed with her..(even got a tattoo of her face today..which ive been wanting for a looong time!!…ok maybe more than slightly obsessed lol.). I can't wait to eat a piece of cake tonight after a yummy dinner with my lovey at a fabulous vegetarian restaurant close to our home :)
