Happy Birthday Matt!

This is the cake (German Chocolate) I attempted to make for the occasion. I don't know if holidays and celebrations are inherently fraught with dessert peril, but for me they definitely are. You will notice that this cake has only one layer. Strange for a round cake, no? Well the other layer although given the equal opportunity treatment of having its pan greased and floured decided that it would come out of the pan in two pieces. How's a girl supposed to frost a cake in two pieces? I still don't know the answer as you can tell I just went with the one layer. It's a good thing baking isn't my profession.

And people think I am dramatic? I think if you hold your fingers like that the flames go out easier, they must be afraid. Although, I can't imagine why Matt would need the extra help I didn't even put the full 32 candles on. Instead I opted for the placement of the candles in the shape of 32. It's a considerably lower risk for fire that way and seeing as how we are renters I thought it was only polite to consider the other apartment dwellers.

He looks thrilled doesn't he? Matt likes to have music when he is getting ready, so I decided he had to own a shower radio. You gotta love the name brand--Rock It. That's terribly original isn't it?

I just love the fact that Matt humors me when it is picture time. Here is he is holding his new sheets. These aren't just any sheets they are 300 count. Why you ask? Matt doesn't like rough sheets, so hopefully these will accommodate him. I am just glad that he is secure enough in his masculinity to put up with a present like this and to have the present blogged for all the world to see.

Anyway I just wanted to post a big Happy Birthday to my best friend. He always stands by me despite my constant ability to overreact to totally undramatic situations. I hope this year brings you a host of new memorable moments and blessings.
