CAKE!!!!

So a couple of weeks ago, it was my *mumble mumble* birthday. Bleah. BUT, oh my lord, The Boy went and got me a CAKE!! A CAKE!!!! I tell you.

There just isn't readily available cake here, you know with icing and all that? So he had to order it in advance (and pay a stupid ridiculous amount of money for it), and they're often meant for children so it had a Little Mermaid theme:


So it looks just like any garish crappy birthday cake with piles of cheap crappy icing (LOVE cheap crappy icing, btw), I know. But wow...SO good. It is not cheap crappy icing, it's Swiss buttercream (ie, made with butter and cooked meringue-y whipped egg whites). And there are three layers of vanilla buttercream inside the cake as well. And a yummy soft squishy melty vanilla cake in between. Nearly as much icing as cake. Damn, it was so good. And even though The Boy and I are notorious cake pigs, this one was actually so rich that it took us like a week to finish it all. (We didn't share it with anyone else LOL.) And I'm certain I gained at least a kilo just from this cake.

But oh was it worth it. *Drool*

Thanks, The Boy!! *Mwah*
