Robert had requested a devil's food cake for his birthday. I made a 3 layer devil's food cake with fluffy boiled icing (it has a marshmallow-like texture and tastes delicious). As you can see from the pictures, this was one huge cake. Fortunately my roommates were all too happy to help us devour the cake. I sent a big chunk of it home with Robert and then last night offered the rest to the roomies. (After all, I just finished up a diet and I didn't want to regain the 12 lbs I've lost so far). I did try some of course- there are limits to my willpower.
You might notice that the candles are a little girly (pink & white). I really thought I was buying red & white candles but when I opened up the package they were pink. Robert managed to blow them out in one try. Pretty good lung capacity for an old man! Ha ha ha.
We also went out to dinner & a movie (Despicable Me) on his actual birthday. That was the cutest movie and I have the cutest boyfriend and life is wonderful. It was so nice to be able to share Robert's special day together.
Amanda is in love. Sigh!
