happy birthday, mom


Mom is a triplet. Her birthday is a big deal in our fam. This is how we roll at the Polzin house. Totally average thumb. We barely survived this firework. Always good to gain a new appreciation for life on one's birthday.




A rustic buttercream cake. I made the Barefoot Contessa chocolate cake recipe on my sister's recommendation. All present agreed that this cake was worth eating, even worth making again sometime. My personal advice for a long happy life of making cakes: find a delicious recipe for buttercream and nothing else matters. I use the recipe from The Whimsical Bakehouse Cookbook. I highly recommend it.

168 years of shenanigans and counting. Congrats, girls! You could pass for 110.
