aka: David's BirthdayHubby's Birthday was yesterday and we kept things low key with the classic cake and pizza.
Actually, I should say that after Lucy and I took Nathan to school we blew through Starbucks and delivered breakfast in bed to David who took the morning off and got some much needed rest. Lucy insisted that the Starbucks Breakfast Sandwich have a candle in it so we sang him awake and we all had breakfast in bed.
When David went to work, Lucy and I made his cake. We had so much fun and I enjoyed showing her all the settings on the mixer. So much so, I set the mixer to high for the 4 minutes it was supposed to be just mixing on medium. All my eggs were whipped into a frenzy that no longer resembled cake mix. We'd used all the eggs, were running low on time so into the oven it went!
The outcome was...not awful. And, franky, it was still cake. With homemade buttercream icing. And that's all that matters, right? Even Ella reeeeeeaaaallly wanted some!
Happy Birthday to the man who changed my life for the better. To borrow the overused lyric from Juno, he's the cheese to my macaroni. Without him, I am just plain noodles.
AND....I should say that I looooove cake.
So so much.
And when I saw this, I laughed out loud and watched it again. Enjoy!
yay for low key! yay for cake (we burned ours) ya for birthdays.
ReplyDeleteNo fruit cake for me ether. It is nasty. But I used to have candles on my lemon merinque pie when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteThere are no mistakes, just happy experiments. Like Ms. Frizzle says, "Get dirty." I love the pic of Lucy at the mixer. Happy Birthday to David.
