I just turned a year older on Friday... Unlike the previous 2 years, my best buddy- my bf- was not by my side. He suggested this idea. Each of us will have a cake and we will use the video call function on msn to celebrate! (i know some people will suggest Skype. For some reason, we haven't gotten around opening Skype account. I guess we're satisfied with msn messenger). I wanted a chocolate cake. My fav! I thought of buying a piece from walmart or food pyramid but ended up making my own cake. I saw a Ferrero rocher cake and wanted something like that. I don't think I can find that here. So, I decided to make my own bday cake. Sad huh? haha... . Although the cake looked terrible, I actually had some fun making it. It has destressing effect.
I made my very first dark chocolate nutella ganache and bought a cake mix to make the cake (picture below).
That's what you do when ur bf was not here and all your friends were busy. But, my "busy" friends decided to pay me a "last minute" surprise visit. I was immersing myself in data and a few minutes before my birthday ended, someone rang the bell. My first thought was who could that be, but after a few rings, I had a pretty good guess on who he- THEY- could be. The first person I saw when I opened the door was DoongEe (he's actually a Yorkie, not really a person). He was sitting there looking at the door and ran into the apt once I opened the door. And the rest just showed up from their hiding place. haha...
My cousins haven't sent me the photos yet.
