Alice in the Kitchen

Birthday Desserts continued

Oh my birthday is my second favorite holiday!  You can bake and make as many birthday desserts as you want and no one can stop you!  I didn’t really go overboard this year – I did just basic dark chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream to take into work.  The trick was, though, that the frosting matched my “It’s My Party” nail polish.  Whew.  It gave me much more joy than it should have.  Mmmm pink cupcakes…

Here’s the matching.

And a little more.  The best part about this last picture is that I uploaded it to Facebook, forgot about it, and then saw it in my News Feed and thought to myself, “Oh HEY, who got engaged!?”  Man, was that a letdown or what!?  I even tricked myself.

And while we’re on the topic of birthday desserts, here’s a piece of delicious tiramisu that we baaaaarely made a dent in after my birthday dinner at Chima.  But it was good!
