Birthday Awesomeness

Who is awesome? I am awesome. This you should already know from reading my blog. Since we are on a budget I made girlfriend a slew of coupons for her birthday. Did I take a picture to brag on myself before I gave them to her? Of course not! Grrr! I'll have to get her to forward me a picture of their obnoxious cuteness to share with you all. When she opened them the first thing she said was "Awww!" followed quickly by "Do I have to give them back to you, or can I please please keep them?" (We decided she can keep them and I will initial the back after she uses it) I also baked her a red velvet cake (her faves) from scratch. Scratch people. Like scratch scratch. I've never made red velvet cake before and naively thought to myself, "It's cake. How hard can it be?" Seriously, that is one freaking laborious cake. It took me a solid 5, count'em 5, hours and I had to wash all the mixing bowls in the house TWICE to make the cake, marshmallow cream and icing. If that's not love then nothing is. Here is a picture to make you jealous you aren't living with me and getting delicious birthday treats :-)

That is super cute! I already saw your red velvet cake on twitter. I agree it is a very laborious process. I had cocoa powder everywhere and then I forgot to grease the pan so the cake stuck to it. I did all that hard for basically nothing. I hope girlfriend knows how she lucky she is to have you.

I want a piece right now. I just ate spinach. I deserve cake. And that one looks amazing.

Taylor-It was way more work than I was anticipating but totally worth it.

Vikki and Eb-There is none left. I ate all Girlfriend's cake. (I couldn't resist the opportunity for a dirty joke here...)
