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 loooooove the cake batter line up 🙂 Happy Birthday!
Happy early birthday!! Everyone thinks I’m younger too! I guess we just have young looking faces! But that will be a good thing when were older!! Haha I love all your cake batter recipes I’m going to make the milkshake tonight!
Happy Bday!!! A few days early and I hope you take this week and turn it into a Bday WEEK! 🙂
The cake batter recipes all have me really happy. Something about seeing all those sprinkles and funfetti just do it for me.
When I was growing up, people always thought I was much older than I really was b/c I have always been tall. So they think, oh she’s as tall as a 5th grader (but I was in 1st grade!) and expected me to have that maturity level and be around that age.
The same thing is already happening w/ Skylar b/c she’s at the 99th percentile for height for age already, too!
Happy early birthday, Katie! Mine is also on Tuesday, and I’ll be (a whopping) 22 years old! Problem is, my family has always made the same 1-2-3-4 cake for EVERY birthday (and everyONE’s birthday) for 30+ years.
I started adding permanent changes to create a healthy lifestyle at the beginning of this summer, and was wondering if you have a dessert recipe you recommend to make for my birthday – to celebrate both my birth and my journey to a healthier life.
Any suggestions? Thanks! 🙂
Wow, now you are the FIFTH commenter whose birthday is on the 6th! Can’t believe there are so many of us… we can take over the world! (And maybe make chocolate the currency of choice. Dream…)
oh you gorgeous Virgo, you 🙂 hehe
Hmm people definitely say i look wayyyy younger than 22. i mostly get 17 ..sometimes 16 (which is where i draw the line!) haha
wow just a couple more days before the big 2-5!!
xoxo <3
oh wait, time zone difference… just ONE more day before the big 2-5!! haha 😉
Hahaha well if you’re going by exact times, I am technically 25 tonight! I keep trying to tell people that (because I was born in England), but no one listens. That’s ok; I just celebrate my birthday BOTH days then. An excuse for two birthdays ;).
My husband and I were at a Sandals resort when I was 25 and the piano bar lady said, “Child, are you even old enough to be at Sandals?” She was rather creepy so I wasn’t flattered. I’m 30 now and people usually think I’m your age. Must be the vegan diet! 🙂
I would have guessed you’re 21 or so, since you talked about being done with school. You don’t look 25!
That’s when you turn around and say, “Yes, grandma, I am!” (Obviously I am just kidding! :))
I’m 23 and once when I was 19, a flight attendant asked me to move out of the exit row because you had to be 15 to sit there…people still think I’m super young now!
congrats katie; i had a birthday about a week ago (i turned 20) i wasn’t so excited though. i assumed you were in your early-mid twenties b/c you mentioned college, and possibly taking a break. otherwise, i could believe you being mistaken for 18 or 19. i get roughly 14-16 myself, at my worst 11 (yeah…idk). fat baby face here, which explains part of it. excited for new recipes :).
Happy birthday beautiful girl!
I think you look a wee bit younger than 25, but guess what! That just means that you are going to look smashing when you’re middle aged and we’re all wrinkly and cursing you because you look younger. I hope you get lots and lots of chocolate! 🙂
People have always thought I looked older, but now I think I look about my age. I act much more mature though so that might be aging me.
Happy (nearly) birthday! 25 is not too much different from 24; I think you’ll like it 😉
I’m 28 and someone recently asked me if I was in high school. I guess I wouldn’t be so frustrated with that if it didn’t come with a significant dose of not being taken seriously! But when I’m 45 and finally look 28, I think I’ll be able to deal with it 🙂
