How I Celebrated my Birthday

Of course I have to wake up with this in bed.  My favorite meal... silog breakfast-in-bed!

Marc was in the mood to be creative and sweet so he picked up periwinkle flowers from mama's garden.  These are the shrubs mama planted to shoo away mosquitoes.  Since I have suffered from dengue hemorrhagic fever a few years back, she just wanted to be careful and make sure I am protected in every way possible.

During that day I baked my own cake but didn't incorporate any design to it.   Marc didn't want me to stress out during that day so I just simplified the cake.

I made my usual chocolate cake except that I tried a different recipe.  I also made chocolate mousse for the first time and used it as the chocolate's filling

Next time I should make more chocolate mousse with just a little chocolate cake.  My goodness, just the thought of it is mouth watering enough.  Too bad I suspect that I am developing an allergy of some sort towards sweets.  I still need to be checked by a doctor though.  But is that possible?

Anyway, I hope that it is just a temporary situation... otherwise, I'd be a baker who is allergic to sweets. :))

Of course it wont be complete if we didn't bake our homemade pizza, this time I'm liking the crust.  Thanks to my hubby who always encourage me to try different recipes.

I also baked 12 dozens of cream puffs that I brought to the office!  

That was almost 150 pieces! /sweat

So far that was how I celebrated my birthday.  Simple and almost everything homemade. :)

I especially loved the steak and veggies that my hubby prepared for dinner.  It was absolutely perfect with my favorite wine (anything made of strawberry is my favorite ;)).)  Thank you Lord for another blessed year! I can't wait until the next time. [-o<
