happy birthday, my sweet

Today is DH’s birthday. I made his favorite…red cake. Used the leftover snowflakes from Monday night’s dessert to decorate the cake. DD put five candles on one side and four on the other to mark DH’s 54th birthday. “You HAVE to have candles!” Well, of coure you do!

I used a butter cream frosting instead of the traditional cooked frosting for the red cake. Easier for me, and all approved of the frosting choice, so it worked out well. 🙂 The traditional frosting isn’t my favorite. Tastes odd to me. I also dusted the sides with some cake crumbs just for fun.

First piece is for my honey. Happy Birthday!
