Today I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my sister and bestest friend in the whole wide world!And in case you're wondering, my surprise decorations were a hit.
So was my surprise Southern Comfort Cake (recipe below). Not only was this my first attempt at Southern Comfort Cake, but it was also my first ever bundt cake, and I'm proud to say it came out perfectly.
More festivities are in store for tonight, including a trip to Brianne's favorite Mexican food joint for enchiladas and margaritas, followed by presents, candles and cake.
What can I say, I love birthdays.
