The Pursuit of Happiness : 2.210

Happy 5th anniversary to Brenden and me. What a day, I can't believe it has already been five years (mostly because that means I graduated college five years ago)! Brenden and I worked hard to make a malted nutella and cookie butter brownie layer cake to celebrate. We also treated ourselves to some fantastic cookware from Willams-Sonoma that we have been dreaming of (and some splurges that we just liked): an ice cream attachment for the kitchen aid, a wok, a candy thermometer and zester, and a set of four beautifully decorated plates (that we ate our cake off of). Then we splurged on some godiva chocolates and a night out for dinner at Ironbridge Wine Co. Everything was delicious, the company of course was wonderful, and our five year celebration was perfect.

Happy Birthday to me. Twenty-seven, here I am!

The Pursuit Of Happiness: 2.176

I finished our cake! And I'm so excited to try all the components together. It's a chocolate chip cookie and milk cake, thanks to Sprinkles Bakes. All the pieces taste so good on their own, I can't even imagine a slice, combining them all. It's going to be so decadent. Gluttonous. Amazing. We made it as a birthday cake for me, so we will get to try it soon.

I also bought a fantastic cake stand and cover, because you know, I've now made one cake in my adult life, so now I need it. I am obsessed with it though, and I'll be using it for all kinds of things when entraining (myself). I found this when I was shopping with Jenna. I had my first visit to World Market, possibly my new favorite store, definitely top five. And then we visited Home Goods, where I spent all my money at the two.

After we headed to the Super Bowl party at Anna's apartment. They had so much good food, but better then that it was great to see everyone. And, I had an entertaining time playing Super Bowl Bingo, since I didn't have any interest in the actual game this year. Everything made for another great, packed day.

Another Happy Birthday…to my Poppy :) So glad I got to celebrate with him! It's also a plus that now have dessert for about a month…

"Death By Chocolate" from Vaccaro's (Chocolate cannoli cake with bacci gelato,
hot fudge, whipped topping and a cherry) mmmm. I still have like a pint of
gelato left…it was way bigger then this picture makes it look, and this picture
was taken after we all ate from it!
