I survived making my birthday cake. It turned out well, though not as smooth and pretty as the picture from the recipe. I did forego all the additional piping and ballerinas. I was just pleased to get this far when I really only had 1 1/2 hrs to fit making a cake. My hubs and daughter both bought me the pink and yellow tulips I hinted for. It was sweet that my daughter insisted on paying for one of the bouquets.
Tonight is my husband’s company’s Winner’s Circle Black Tie event. I still don’t have shoes to wear with my dress, so I am off to try to find a pair. Nothing like waiting till the last minute! I really just want to crawl in bed since this has been such a long week. But alas!
Glad you survived the cake making…I made mine (the big one for tonight) and a small cupcake for last night. Then after I ate it, it just tasted off. Silly me forgot an ingredient so I get to go home and start over, oy!

Gorgeous cake and tulips! I adore tulips. So glad you had a fun birthday with your sweet family.
Hope the shoe shopping was a success! Fancy dinners always sound exciting to me until the night of, then I just want to crawl into my jammies and stay home. Guess I’m officially old, ha!
Hope you had a great time

Your cake is lovely, Kim! and those tulips! so inspiring… I’m running out to get some!
Oh Kim, I guess great minds think alike! I love Sweetapolita! That’s where I got the recipe for the cake I just made (the one I posted to instagram.) Anyway, I want to make this cake too!!!! Yours turned out wonderful! I would’ve left off the ballerinas too, though for my little girl, I might have to find some! lol. The tulips are gorgeous. So glad to hear that you helped to make your day special. Pampering is wonderful, even if it’s self-indulgent. Happy Birthday!!!!
