Time to break out those Funfetti Cookie Dough Balls.
In honor of my birthday (I’m excited and not-so-excited at the same time), today’s post spotlights cake, funfetti, and all things sprinkle!
Can you look at this photo and not feel happy? Give me birthday-cake pizza over regular pizza any day. It’s much more fun. And much more pretty-ful (which should be a word, by the way).
The most adorable little things ever. Almost too cute to eat. Almost.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably seen this photo a million times, because it’s one of the most-popular recipes on my site!
Chocolate Cake-Batter Milkshake
Even better than the original… because chocolate is always better!
I made these for a bunch of kindergarteners, and they ate every last crumb sprinkle.
Also known as “fairy dust” ice cream or “magic fairytale” ice cream.
Question of the Day:
Do people think you look younger (or older) than you are?
People always mistake me for being younger. And I know some people find it offensive or annoying when others mistake them for being much younger than they are. But I really don’t mind. (Except for one time when a guy thought I was twelve. That made me mad.) I am secretly hoping it means I can look like Michelle Pfeiffer when I’m 53. (Seriously, what is her secret?)
My birthday dessert is going to be Chocolate Mousse Pie. And yes, I will be posting the recipe this week.
You do look young but that will most definitely be a good thing as the years tick by! Happy almost birthday, I hope you enjoy every last bite of that delicious sounding dessert!
when i was sick with the ED, everyone thought i was older but now that i’m at a healthy weight (& i smile a lot more) people think i’m younger! gotta love those filled out cheeks & my asian genes! 🙂
Whoa A Double Dark Chocolate Mousse Pie!!!! That’s the DREAM!!! I can’t wait! 😀 😀 I’m 18 but I have a hard time convincing older people (neighbours and random people) that I’m not 13! I’m pretty sure one of my neighbours is still angry with me because she thinks I keep lying to her about my age 🙁
And Yes! You do look really young! I hope this doesn’t offend you but I thought you were 17 when I first saw your photo!! You don’t look a DAY older than 24! 😀
Nahh, I wasn’t surprised that you were twenty-five. 🙂 Maybe only because I’ve been reading your blog for so long, though… The first commenter – Katie – is right: you do look young! But rather than “young”, I’d say “youthful”. Which is definitely a good thing! I always get mistaken for being two or three years older (people think I’m about 23), though my parents say it’s because I have a “mature” face… (i.e. I look too serious?! I don’t know what they mean, really!)
I hope you’re taking Tuesday off to yourself! Well, even if you do blog, I hope it’ll be because you love doing so…!
Of all your cake-batter recipes, I have to say that the chocolate cake-batter milkshake is my absolute favourite! With chocolate sprinkles or cacao nibs on top. I STILL haven’t made cake batter pizza yet… Insane. Must put that on my to-do list. Maybe for Tuesday in honour of your birthday!
Have a great Sunday. 😀
I look younger i think, especially now i’ve lost a little weight again (& opposite to tea-bagginit, i looked much younger when i was very ill) . Although i must pass for 18 still as they haven’t asked me for ID when i’ve been doing the grocery shopping recently!
By the way your sprinkles in the US are so much brighter and prettier than those in the UK, ours are pathetic and not at all bright 🙁
Oh boy! I love everything cake batter flavored. Thanks for the recipe round up! 🙂
Happy Early Birthday!!
U look SO young!!!!! Wow!
LOVE the cake batter yums! Happy Sunday love! xoxo <3
I still haven’t tried any of the cake batter recipes! I need to get on that.
I wasn’t surprised by your age because I’ve been reading your blog for a while. ;]
People always mistake me for being younger than I am, too. I’m 21, but I get all sorts of funny answers. I remember being out for a walk one day last year and there were a bunch of elementary/middle school kids playing outside. A group of girls called out to me and asked if I went to their school. It caught me off guard!
I was also at an eating disorders fundraiser/speaker event a year or two ago (my best friend was anorexic), and when my mom went to get the car she left me behind to watch the items we had won for the silent auction. Several adults came up to me while she was gone, saying, “It’s okay, little girl…your mom just went to get the car. She didn’t leave you!”
“Yes, she’ll be right back–don’t worry, she wouldn’t abandon you!”
I remember just staring at them all at first, like…okay? I’m not worried? Haha.
I finally just played along and said, “Yes, I know.”
People that know me still have trouble remembering how old I am. The people at my parents’ church are wondering if I’ve graduated high school yet and the people at my college usually think I’m a freshman (I’m a senior this year, hee hee).
Hope you have a great birthday week, Katie! :]
Everyone thinks I look younger then my age, but I’m okay with that cause I don’t like getting older! I still feel like I should be a teenager, although I act like a granny in an 20 year old body! You look younger then you are 🙂 I’ve got to try those Funfetti Cookie Dough Balls!
aHHH happy early bday!! i cant believe youll be 25!!
Me neither! Life goes too fast! lol
