Winner winner, funfetti dinner!

Guess what.

I turned twenty two yesterday! Such a nice symmetrical number.

However… I obviously can’t take the credit for all this awesomeness, as without a mother I clearly wouldn’t be here at all. Here’s what she has to say about all these bun in the oven shenanigans:

Twenty-two years ago, mere hours after I’d been swing dancing at a wedding, Hayley decided to make a speedy entrance into the world!! Originally, this wedding was supposed to take place on a boat sailing around SF Bay—good thing they chose a docked, historical ,version instead, since her Daddy was the best man! Call the Coast Guard!! She allowed us to get home from this big event, tired and happy, but then, since all of the dancing had stopped for her mom, she decided that it was time to do the baby cha-cha! Daddy-to-be couldn’t believe that it was time to watch the clock—he just tried to talk me into going back to sleep. Persistent baby….apparently, Hayley was *not* pleased that she missed the party AND  the cake, and decided that she’d had enough gestation….et voila! Punctual baby, punctual person! Early am, September 23rd! Daddy even remembered to throw the tuxes in with the suitcase, so he could return them!! Who gave the man with the really pregnant wife the tuxes to return!?

There you have it. My entire personality in a nutshell can be determined from birth: I’m punctual, polite (I waited), and I love cake. Don’t try to stand between me and my cake.

And birthdays mean cake! Annnddd fun candles. So since I’m secretly a five year old inside, I requested funfetti from scratch, with MEGA sprinks. And my lovely mama made it for me! How fab is that. How very civilized having someone else make cake for you.

A tres fabulous birthday weekend all around… AND I have leftover cake. Winner winner, funfetti dinner! Ha.

Recipe from Sweetapolita! The only changes we made were whipped cream frosting instead of buttercream (I like whipped cream better), and a teeny cake in 6″ cake pans (also whole wheat pastry flour, natch). AND mega sprinks. Some were dino shaped. Feel free to be jealous, veryyy veryyy jealous, that I have such an awesome mutti who buys dino sprinks. Hehee.
