Happy Birthday to Me!!

My birthday was Monday!  For birthday festivities first my friend from upstate came to visit me, which was sooo much fun, and we went to see Pitch Perfect 2!

I thought Pitch Perfect 2 did everything a good sequel should.  It was enjoyable in the same ways the first movie was enjoyable, it did just enough call backs to the first movie to be fun but didn't overdo it, and yet it had it's own storyline.  Plus, it had some great mashups!



And Kari, who of course is a baking GENIUS made me the coolest birthday cake ever (and it was pretty hard to top both the Hogwarts castle cake and the rainbow piñata cake). She made me a Hedwig cake!!  It was adorable.  The design comes from a song in the Sugar Daddy song where Hedwig says "I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clamshell rising out of a sea of marshmallow foam". So Hedwig is standing on a chocolate covered clamshell which is rising out of a sea of marshmallow foam (the frosting was marshmallow too!).  So unique, so adorable, and so special!
