Hi everybody!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. I had a wonderful birthday week, involving three different cakes: Princess cake from Erlend (as seen in the Instagram picture above), this boozy yellow birthday cake from yours truly, and a red velvet cream cheese cake from my sweet coworkers.

Tonight, I'm heading across the pond for my sister's wedding in Amsterdam, so be sure to follow along my travels on Instagram and Twitter. True to form, I've planned most of the trip around food, so watch my feed for desserts from England, the Netherlands, and Scotland!

Have a great weekend everybody!
