This weekend

was Nick’s 30th birthday!

I baked him a cake – my first cake from scratch which was surprisingly easy.  I usually roll with the Cake Mix Doctor in delicious fashion, but not this week. I always make buttercream icing, but Nick wanted Royal Icing, so for his birthday we sorta compromised because there was so much buttercream left over from the layers.

He loves marshmallows, reaaaaaally loves them.

and candy – lots of candy…

We went out just the two of us on Friday to see Slumdog Millionaire (which deserved ALL the oscars it received!) and tapas.  We went out with friends on Saturday, I had rum and cokes and only snagged this blurry photo of a chandelier – way to go self.

Happy Birthday Nick, I love you!

ps. Happy Birthday Beth! I love you too, but couldn’t ship a cake to Australia.  I could, but it would be gross.
