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.
I did think you were younger despite knowing the schooling you’ve had, but then in the UK we get out of university (for an undergraduate degree) at about 21 and you could even have an MA within two years of that! I like the other Jennys’ comments of being “youthful”: I think that counts for an awful lot as it’s in your attitude and how you comport yourself. You look happy in your pictures too, and I always think that takes a few years off 🙂
I’m twenty-eight and most people are surprised when I tell them that; a couple of years ago a bus driver wanted to give me a concessionary fare, when I had my glasses on and my hair scraped back, which I always thought aged me, haha! Once I did get “I thought you were in your thirties” which the lad who told me seemed to think was a compliment as he was trying to chat me up … wrong way to go entirely! 😀
Hey Katie,
yes, you DO look younger than 25! 🙂 And luckily, people still do not guess my age right. Hehe. I was happy to read that you are a Michelle Pfeiffer fan. She is just gorgeous!
I love your recipes and love your Larabars!
Have a wonderful celebration and read you soon.

Happy Birthday! I thought you were younger…but not much. Maybe 23? I am 26, and people think I’m older than that…dang it!
Maybe because you’re a mom? I always think people who are moms are older… probably because they just seem so mature and responsible… or maybe I subconsciously don’t want to think about the fact that I’m old enough to be a mom too!
Well, yes you look young, but that’s a good thing! And 25 sounds right to me, but probably because I’ve been reading your blog and know that you’re much more mature than a teenager! 🙂
Oh, and prettyful is totally a word.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (on Tuesday), maybe I’ll say it over and over for a few days lol!
People usually guess me 5-10 years younger than I am, which i am A-O-K with! My parents both have baby-faces, and I’ve gotten younger than true life guesses for my whole life. My mom’s in her early 50’s and people still guess her in her mid to late thirties! People always think we’re sisters when we go out. 🙂
What kind of sprinkles do you use? I want to make funfetti SOMETHING! They all look so cute! 🙂
Usually just the generic grocery-store brand. I figure it’s just a tablespoon, so really how much partially-hydrogenated oil is going to hurt if you have a sprinkle or two, ya know? But they do make a brand called “Let’s Do Organic” that is all-natural (more expensive though).
People say I look yonger then my 31 years, and have alway thought meyonger then my years.
Happy birthday
Happy Almost Birthday, Katie! You definitely look younger than 25, but I would go as far to say that you look 12! I’d say you look 21-22ish.
As for me, people usually guess my age within a year or two. Bor-ing! 😕
I can’t believe you’re going to be 25! But I can relate… I’m almost 20 and people usually guess I’m about 16. It used to bother me but the way I see it now is that in 10 years I will be soooo happy that I look younger than I actually am! My sister’s 24 now and she LOVES getting carded! Hahaha
I love it too! Basically, I just love the surprised look on the salesperson’s face when I can, in fact, produce a license :).
Happy birthday soon!!! I knew you were in your tewenties. I am too and people think I am in high school all the time. Yeah, let’s just hope this youthful trait sticks and we will be the youngest looking grandmas ever 🙂
25, wow! We actually have the same birthday – I’m turning 15 on Tuesday!
Oh my goodness, that’s awesome!!! Happy early birthday to you :). We were born on the best day!!
