icepixieI was going to post a picture of my birthday cake, but I was too embarrassed by my crappy frosting job. So just imagine the pinkest cake you've ever seen, with pink and red candles on it. (I would not have chosen pink if I had a choice, but I'm having a lemon cake with strawberry frosting, and them's the breaks. It's going to be DELICIOUS, even if it is very Barbie-looking.)
So far, I've spent my birthday reading The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which is funny and sad at the same time, and has me occasionally running for Spanish-English translation sites, because most of the Spanish used by these characters is, well, not exactly the kind you learn even in AP. It's almost, but not quite, warm enough to read outside, so instead I took the dog for a...well, the way she does it, it's really more of an amble at best, or perhaps an extremely lethargic stroll, but you know what I mean.

Date: 2011-02-27 03:29 am (UTC)Okay, I was trying to figure out what on earth you were talking about, and the first useful result I got was this sad review. (http://javacupcake.com/2011/01/red-robin-jumped-on-the-cupcake-bandwagon/) I'm gonna take the basic concept and deliciousify it in my head and trust that that's what you had, and not "tastes like tire." : D
I'm sure the cake version was fantastic! Do you have a recipe?
Awwwwwwwwwww.
And not even pretty snow! Mushy snow!
