31

Justin turned 31 on July 31st. Cheers to another year! 31 will be great, he will become a dad at 31!

For his birthday I made him Orangette's Winning Hearts and Minds cake... and it broke when I was taking it out of the pan. BUT it still tasted AMAZING (and looked rustic?)! It was so rich, soft and GOOD. I love chocolate though, there is almost no such thing as "too-chocolatey" to me. I think. Anyway, make it, you won't regret it!

Justin's idea of the perfect way to celebrate his birthday is hanging out with friends and playing music... so that's what we did. They played music in our garage (aka Justin's "man cave") and good times were had.

Ha! The man-cave. I love it! Sounds like a fun evening.
I absolutely LOVE that cake! I make it for every big celebration we have. I keep meaning to branch out and try other cakes, but......why?
