Cake Days – Because We All Love Cake

Ah, hello world, so this is how you look like to the 23-year-old me?

Some awwwesome cupcake cups I got for my birthday from my girl E. We all ♥ cake! 

Between my previous post and this one I celebrated my 23rd birthday. Some might argue that at this age you weren't supposed to count the years anymore, but I want to be proud of my age!

Heh heh that's right... I got this perfectly suitable birthday card!

Then again - Wouldn't it be fun if I suddenly hid my age and then you'd all be thinking I was, as I often hear I look, an 18-year-old little girl - who'd just happen to be about to graduate from Uni at age 18 and would therefore have to be one heck of a genius? That'd be a nifty alias!

Maybe next year.

Now I'm here to share a few (cake) photos from my birthday;

It had snowed heavily during the night before my birthday, so I woke up to this. What a beautiful gift.

I wasn't expecting gifts but my mom surprised me with a little cosmetics bag gift in the morning.
Including the new Trésor Midnight Rose (starred By Emma Watson) eau de parfum! Sweet ♥

For b-day bakings I used a recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery's Cake Days book I got for Christmas.

This time I baked Red Velvet cupcakes for the first time, by the recipe from the Cake Days book.

The cakes were yummy, and what's almost as important is, I got to use my cupcake tower for once!

Here's a shot from the pages of the Cake Days book - it must be the prettiest & yummiest book I've seen yet.

The layout & photos are just beautiful. Here the Strawberry Daiquiri mini cupcakes - so cute.

This year my birthday included baking, breakfast with mom & dad, little new treasures and coffee with very few close friends.  The older you get, the more you realize how many "friends" you have made that never really were friends to begin with - and then again, how great those few people are that will stick in your life. And there aren't many.

Muffin much, my current combo back to staying at my parents again + turning 23 is not so flattering - but I'm sure my age will fit me just fine once things with that i.e. go back to "normal".

PS. Ok, this post had little to do with style/fashion. Next post is more style related! Cheers!
