Today is my birthday! To celebrate, I decided to bake myself a cake using the gigantic cupcake pan I bought a few months ago. This is one big cupcake, and with my husband out of town, I'd hate to think I have to eat the entire thing myself. Not to worry, Mario is a good cupcake eater too.....and some friends are stopping by so they can help me out as well.
It's 1:30 in the morning on April 22nd, officially my birthday, but also time for bed. Morning will be here too soon, but at least I'll have sweet dreams!
Happy Day!





OH YAY! First to wish you a FABULICIOUS Happy Birthday!!!
Hope its wonderful!!!

Happy Birthday sweet friend! At such a young age, you have a strong sense of who you are as a person and also as an artist. Your style comes from within and is so inspiring. Hope your day is relaxing and fun and that you celebrate many, many more in the years to come. Fabulous cake!

"Happy Birthday Andrea!" (It's my lovely brother's birthday today too - he's a little older than you though!)
Enjoy that cup cake!
Thanks for sharing your hat collection on flickr - I also collect them, so really enjoyed looking at your pretty pieces - it always amazes me how many possible designs there are for hats - like little works of art.

Love the cake!
Simple.
Elegant.
Do-able...for one who doesn't do cakes well.
I'm making a mental note of this one.
Happy Birthday!
Hope it's the best one ever!
