Happy Birthday To Me!

Last week was my birthday! 

                               

I know, having a birthday means you just got older, but I can't help it,  I am just giddy about birthdays.  Mine, my kid's, my honey's, yours, I looooove birthdays!   I love everything about birthdays.   As a child I started planning for my birthday right after Christmas.  When my kids were little, I would throw these big huge parties.  The more my husband's eyes rolled the better.   I like birthdays that go on forever.  In fact my in-laws are taking us to dinner to celebrate tomorrow night, which means that the celebrations have been carrying on for 12 days now! Just how I like it!


Having a birthday means one of these yummy cakes.  This little beauty is a Mrs. Backers Birthday Cake.  The price of such a cake fluctuates with the precious metals market, hovering right between gold and platinum.   I know what you are thinking,  it looks a bit old fashioned but DO NOT judge!  This is the yummiest pile of butter cream flowers you could ever dig your fork into.  To be clear, I don't much care for the cake part, so when I tell you i LOVE this cake, what I am really saying is, I LOVE this frosting!!  In fact I love this frosting so much that several years back, Kenn skipped the cake all together and just bought me a huge tub of frosting-  Can you see why I am in love with this man?  If a tub is a little tacky for you, you can just order a few dozen flowers and have them shipped to you!   If you're into that kind of thing.....  I totally am!
