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.
Awwww HAPPY [almost] BIRTHDAY my sweet friend!! 😀 You have the most amazing birthday ever, you hear? 😉 But really, you do deserve the BEST birthday EVER!! 😀 You’re so super sweet and such an amazing person!
I don’t think you look 25, but I wouldn’t say you look 12 either! Maybe 19? No matter your age, you’re truly gorgeous, and I’m sure that will hold true for you at any age! 🙂
People always think I’m way older that I am! When I was about 11, someone thought I was in college, and when I was 13, I was at my friend’s house and we were playing with their wii fit and it guessed I was 24!! I mean really??? I don’t think I look THAT old! I just hope I’m not always mistaken for being older 😉
All your funfetti foods look super duper incredible! I need to make another cake batter pizzert asap! And I really want to try all your other spinklefull recipes too – anything with sprinkles catches my eye immediately 🙂
Oh and this morning, I made your blueberry pie pancakes with coconut banana butter – SO SUPER GOOD!!! And they really were the fattest pancakes ever! 😛 And then for lunch, I made your snickerdoodle dip! Wow o wow, it was outstanding!! It’s definitely not going to last long – I highly considered grabbing a spoon and just eating the whole bowl of it for lunch… maybe that could be dinner 😉
Also, sorry for not commenting on your last few posts! I read them all, just forgot to comment! But I really loved all the recipes (I want to make the pb cookie dough smoothie so badly!!), and I love your new recipe page! It helped me to find the recipes that I made today in a very timely matter 🙂
Wow, this got long – I guess I had a lot to say… you did say you like long comments, right? Right? 😉
<3 <3
Oh my goodness! Never ever ever feel like you have to be sorry for not commenting! As you know, I am the worst about commenting on other blogs :(. I am so grateful to hear from you whenever you have a chance, just because your sweet words light up my computer screen!
I’m 22, and recently I’ve been telling people how I “just graduated” and more than a few have responded by asking where I’m attending college in the fall…. which is my awkward cue correct them that I’m actually a college grad… whoops! I thought I looked old enough that being a college grad was a given – guess not! I’ll take that though, because in my own mind I routinely forget that I’m not a teenager anymore
Happy birthday in advance! You do look younger than that and I mean that as a huge compliment; you look great 🙂
I’m 25 too! People usually think I look younger than I am, which is fine by me! I feel like I nit-pick & think “Omg I have wrinkles already!” So if someone mistakes me for one of the high schoolers I teach, I’m actually pretty thankful that’s it’s only ME noticing the wrinkles! 🙂
Woohoo! Reppin’ the September birthdays! I’ll be 26 on the 26th haha…cannot believe it, I still feel like I was just 22. And I honestly thought you were around 20-22 (I can be bad at guessing age…but it’s because I don’t look my age AT ALL haha)…people still think I’m 22ish…I also love chocolate…see what I’m getting at? Chocolate=youthful appearance? Haha;) But in all seriousness…I’ll say happy 25th to you now because I can get caught up once the work week starts! But I’ll make sure to have something in your honor…I got around to trying out my coconut oil in some of your chocolate coconut banana butter/fudge frosting…BLOWN AWAY.
Who’d have thought something so simple could actually come out like buttercream frosting without the butter or tons of powdered sugar added into it? So I just had to confirm that A: coconut oil will work (I cut it down to 3 tbsp and had used a whole medium banana) and B: you haven’t let me down with recipes yet (like you could concoct a terrible recipe…let’s be real here, won’t happen)! Have a great birthday!!
Hahahaha oh you should ask my mom… she has spit out things I’ve made before. And she’s not nice about it, either! No sparing my feelings! The other day, she spit out a cookie and said it tasted like cardboard. LOL it’s nice to have people who will tell you the truth… even if the truth hurts ;). Then again, she didn’t like the blondies… so sometimes I don’t listen to her tastebuds!
Happy almost Birthday!! When I first started reading your blog, I totally thought you were 14 (sorry!), but after hearing you talk about graduating college, I realized you were older. Some people, especially tiny people like you, just look a lot younger. its a good thing though. People always think I look younger too (same with my mom, that’s where I get it from), but I appreciate it. Because I would much rather be 16 than 21 anyway 😡 so maybe I’ll just pretend I’m younger from now on. This summer, a man asked me what grade I was going into. I started laughing in his face 😡 and told him I’m a senior in college.
Sometimes I wish I were 14. No responsibilities… but then again, I’d have to appy to colleges again, take the SATs, sit through ap chem. Maybe I am happy to no longer be 14! 😉
To me you look about 20, but that’s a compliment!
People always mistake me for being younger than I am due to my blonde hair, chubby cheeks and hobbit-like stature. I have had the ‘so, where are your parents?’ remarks and have been mistaken routinely for 12 or 13, despite being 25. So you’re not alone!
Happy Chocolate-Covered Birthday!!! Your dessert makes me hungry just thinking about it 😉

You’re going to be 25?! You look like you could still be in high school! I wish people thought I looked younger than I really am; I’m only 14 but some people think I’m 18 or older.
Hehee! I often get new patients coming into the surgery saying, “YOU’RE my dentist??” “Are you old enough to be pulling my teeth out?” 🙂 I love it! I’d say you look around 21 so yeah, younger than your real age 🙂
Honestly, I thought you were a little younger than me but obviously we are the same age and you are a month older than me 🙂 . I should know your age because I have been a follower for quite a long time but the problem is that in my head people stop aging after we meet for the first time (in person or not).
When I was a teenager it was easy to convince people that I was older because of my height. It was harder to make them believe the opposite – that I am actually 15 and I am not supposed to make out with 30-year-old men. Awkward! Now most people think I am younger than I am and I am fine with it.
