So I apologize on my major slacking with this whole blog posting thing. I've actually made a bit of food from May until now and I just keep forgetting to post about it. This one is quite recent so I figured I do this one first. My birthday was coming up and I was trying to decide what kind of cake I should make for the occasion.
