I was watching Cake Boss today; I really wish I could make cool cakes like that. Maybe sometimes I'll have the time and the energy to go down that road. Using fondant and all of that. My pregnant self could only muster a plain chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, baked in a 9X13 pan:
We put three candles on one side, and four on the other, to stand for "34." I've now known Ben for ten years. I threw him a birthday party for his 24th birthday; we had been dating only a few weeks. We were both so skinny and peppy back then...
I'm the coolest wife ever. I got Ben some great stuff. Whitman's chocolates, the Twilight graphic novel (Ben is a major Twi-Hard), the New Moon soundtrack (which he listens to every single day when he's driving to and from work), and a couple of other books to read when he donates plasma.
The kids picked a card out for Ben - it was a 4th of July card. I protested, but it was a pop-up card, and they were so in love with it, I gave in. Ben liked it:
Happy belated Birthday Ben!! I need to record these things because I never remember friends' birthdays! I'm SO BAD!!:P That's funny that the kids picked out a 4th of july card:)
ReplyDeleteKole and Ben have the same birthday. That'll be easy to remember. You ARE an outstanding wife. Isn't it strange to think how long we've known or spouse-olas?
ReplyDeleteThe word verificcation is: gyroli. I like that.
You are a GREAT cake-maker! I just threw cakes together this year. My poor kids will have ugly cake issues.
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY for Ben! Though I always get his bday and my other bro-in-law's bdays mixed up.
