Justin and I started a tradition this year of baking birthday cakes for each other. Personally, I think the one he made was better.
The cake I made had two layers, but since it had to travel from VA to NC in a hot car, it was kinda dried out by the time we ate it. That definitely cost me a few points.
Crappy photo by me. Cake recipe from Smitten Kitchen, icing from the back of the Hershey's cocoa box.
Just ignore the lumpy sides above. SOMEHOW my cake [and picture] just didn't turn out as beautiful as Deb's little work of art did:
Smitten Kitchen in all it's glory
Hopefully our cakes will improve with practice, but for now I'm just happy we got to celebrate both of our birthdays together this year!
i'm sure it still tasted yummy! any cake surviving that drive is special.
