Happy Birthday to Me


Today is my 25th birthday! I started the tradition last year to have an ice cream cake for my birthday. After buying one last year, and paying an arm and a leg for a cake the size of a postage stamp, we decided to make our own. I told Travis what I wanted and he got right to it.
In case anyone wants to know-he started out by baking brownies. Once they finished baking he covered them with very soft mint chocolate ice cream and topped that with crushed oreos. He then put it in the freezer overnight to harden. It was the best cake (if you can even call it a cake) I have had!! I will definitely be having this every year!
I also received these delicious cupcakes from Kara! Don't they look right off a cover of a food magazine with the perfectly placed sprinkles? A girl can never have too many sweets, I always say! Thanks again Kara.

And thank you to everyone who sent me 'happy birthday' wishes. I really appreciate it! It really makes getting older a little easier when you know you are loved.

Wow! I'm impressed travis baked for you! Josh and I still talk about the amazing dessert you made for us.

Hope this next year is full of fun for you.

BTW, I think it's funny that the cupcake from "Sprinkles" doesn't have any on it.
