Happy Happy Birthday!

So it was Brandon's birthday on Saturday and in order to help in my goal to become more domestic I wanted to make Brandon a fabulous cake. Well this is my attempt to be domestic, just go with it, lol. My sister Beth is a culinary art major so she helped me quite a bit and even answered my frantic questions up until the last minute. I could not have done it without her. So the cake is three layers, a brownie layer, a white cake and a dark chocolate layer all with chocolate buttercream frosting the middle. Of course I wanted to to look cute too so I put Pirouette cookies around the entire cake. The bow of course was my doing, I am a bow person. So please tolerate my attempt to be more domestic, ha ha.

We were lucky enough to have Brandon's family visiting from Missouri. It was so good to see them and be able to celebrate Brandon's birthday with them. Plus, it was someone else to help us eat the cake. I do not think Brandon and I could have (or should) have eaten this cake by ourselves!
