Birthday Treats

birthday 58 three

The flu bug wrestled me to the ground, and twisted my arm behind my back until I cried uncle. Sniffles and cold medicine were also a part of my birthday celebration but it was all good. My daughter told me not to bake a cake that she would take care of it.

She bought me a White Velvet Cake from the Patisserie, one of the few bakeries in town that I really like. This cake was super light with a melt in your mouth creamy vanilla filling. Thank you Punkin!

Along with the cake she bought these exquisite little desserts for us to enjoy. These are the kind of desserts that I keep saying I want to make. Guess they’ll be on my to do list this year also. I wish I had some of these right now to enjoy while I watch all of the Inaugural festivities today. It’s been a great day watching history unfold. Sending best wishes to the First Family and to our nation.

About Sandra

I am the proud owner of the largest sweet tooth in the world. This means that my other passion, fitness, serves me very well. As contradictory as this seems, I’m a certified fitness professional. It’s great to be able to show my clients how to have their cake and eat it too. Life is truly too short not to have dessert. As long as you have the best natural ingredients and enjoy them in moderation it’s OK. For the last twenty-five years I’ve been a cake decorator. Try as I might I can’t get it out of my blood, so I’ve decided to stop fighting it and go with the flow. Who say’s you can’t have it all?
