Just A Simple Little Birthday Cake...For Me!

February 6th was my birthday.

I hate to say, "The older you get, birthdays just aren't as special"...but I don't know.

It's kind of true.

I mean, I don't have a problem with getting older...

I'm grateful for the life God has blessed me with.

I am healthy and blessed with an amazing family!

But "aging" is quite another thing for me.

I hate the whole aging process...wrinkles, gray hair, sagging skin, gaining weight.

The physical appearance takes A LOT more maintenance, that's for sure!

So, I'm fighting it every step of the way.

I've got a bathroom stocked with wrinkle cream, hair color, tanning and toning lotions.

You name it, I try it, LOL!

But anyway...I am not one to get all depressed about birthdays...I choose to celebrate LIFE instead of getting older.

I have a nice dinner out with my family, eat a piece of cake, and just go on about my day as any other day.  Ha!

This year I didn't really do anything major.

Just made a simple white cake with classic buttercream.

I did it in my favorite colors...pink and yellow.

And made it nice and girly...lots of ruffles.

I also tried something new.

I made flowers out of white chocolate.

I melted it down, and piped it onto wax paper.

After it chilled and dried, I peeled it off and popped them onto the cake!

Voila!

Pretty cute!

I had a nice birthday.

My youngest son had a band concert that night, and I always enjoy hearing both of my boys play in the band.

What is YOUR favorite birthday dessert?

I think next year I'll make a homemade cheesecake!
