Renaissance

It has been almost a month since my last post, but I am back and better than ever. And almost 27 (T-3 days)! Blogging has obviously been taking a back seat to other activities in my life, but that doesn't mean I can't show my face around here every once in a while.

The birthday cake you see above was not made for me but for my dad a few months ago. It is a "white" cake with caramel frosting. For my own cake (which will be made next week when I am out visiting my parents), I have requested a hybrid gingerbread/carrot cake with nuts and raisins and, in lieu of frosting, whipped cream and strawberries on the side. What, me? High maintenance? Nah!
