Birthday dinner and Birthday CAKE!

I just wanted to share with you all the amazing meal and cake that I made for my future husband's (I hate the word fiance) birthday.  I spent a long time slaving over the cake so luckily it was AMAZING!  I highly recommend you try this, however be careful you may be inclined to eat the whole thing in one sitting!  For the meal I roasted potatoes and shallots in the oven and made some lemon/thyme green beans.  The meat was an amazingly tender filet mignon from the Omaha steaks package we got from Logan's mom for his bday!  I made a red wine sauce that I could probably put on any slab of meat!  Ok onto the photos!


While I'm blogging this its taking every ounce of will power that I have to not go and get a fork and dive into this cake!!!

This doesn't count towards the challenge, but who cares, it was amazing!

  5. Paige - question for you about the cake. You mentioned in your blog that worked hard on the cake - was it really a tricky recipe to work with? It seems pretty basic at first glance but if you slaved over it I'm wondering if you have any tips??
