Yesterday’s Birthday Cake

It was The Daddy Monkey’s birthday yesterday.

The kids played with their grandparents while we saw priceless works of art and ate sushi.  Then we went toy shopping (of course).

It was a rare treat, being alone together for that long. (Our longest ever without kids, I think.)

I made this coconut cake. I made only a half recipe because we just can’t eat all that cake.  Especially with one of us being gluten free.

I’ve been so inspired by the cakes over at forty-sixth at grace.  They are so beautiful, they make me want to make a cake every day. Surely I can find more reasons to celebrate, no?

So I made some cake flags. Vintage ribbon from The Daddy Monkey’s grandmother, double sided tape, and wooden skewers.  I see more of these in my future.  A lot more.

Happy birthday, love.  I think you’re rad.
