My Mom's B-day!

Yesterday for my mom's birthday I treated her to her favorite Dallas spot for breakfast. We then went to the mall to do some shopping. We tried going to a movie while we were at the mall but we were in the mood for a good chick flick, which we were out of luck at finding.


By the time the late afternoon rolled around I needed to start frosting and decorating the cake. I baked the cake on Friday then stored the layers until I had time on Saturday to make the frosting and decorations. I was very excited making the decorations. I was totally in my element! My mom watched some TV and held her youngest grandson pug while I busily worked on the cake. The marble cake, chocolate frosting and decorations all turned out well. I was proud of how it looked and it tastes good too! Is it absolutely perfect? No! It definitely looks homemade not as perfect as a store bought cake but I worked hard making it, the frosting, and the decorations. I'm continuing to improve my cake baking/decorating skills!



For her birthday dinner my boyfriend and I took her to our favorite pizza restaurant. We typically order take-out from the family-owned pizza chain but they do have a dine-in restaurant near us so that's where we went. Yummy! Pizza followed by birthday cake and ice cream....what could be better? Needless to say by the end of the evening we were all pleasantly stuffed!!!
