'Twas my B-Day yesterday!!!

And it was a great day!!!
Hubby gave me a beautiful card. He came home after work with a chocolate cake (and he even bought crayon-shaped candles 'cause he KNOWS how much I LOVE crayons! I really do!!!)

Making a wish!

Who needs cake? Just give me ALL the ICING and no one will get harmed!

Those flowers were delish, by the way!!!!hehe!

Then he gave me this beautiful butterfly chain, 'cause he knows how much I love butterflies!!!!

We went to the famous Kozy Korner restaurant here in Fort McMurray. We had Pan Fried Fish and fries. Yum!

And THEN he gave me THIS!!! A birthstone ring! I love it!

After all that excitement, we went to see Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers. It was a great show.I laughed so much!!!

Thanks to my hubby for a wonderful birthday and to all my friends on Facebook, thanks for the well-wishes!

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Nothing to do with paper, but anyway! Some times there'll be non-paper posts, that's OK, isn't it?!

My hubby found this recipe on a blog called Cookin' Up North a few days ago and wanted me to try. So I did :O)

3 c. flour
1/4 tsp.salt
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted

Topping:
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. For the topping, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 for 28-32 minutes.

Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

While warm drizzle the glaze over the cake.
