On the morning of my birthday I was treated to a delicious pancake breakfast made by B. I whipped up the batter the night before so we didn’t have to think too much in the morning, and served them up with chopped bananas, strawberries and a little of the salted caramel sauce leftover from my birthday cupcakes! Oh, and a sneaky glass of champagne too!
Today’s post is a little bit special because, well, it’s my birthday! Yep, I’m turning the ripe old age of 27 today and what better way to celebrate than with cupcakes! Bringing cake on (or near) your birthday is mandatory at my work, not even the boss would get away with not bringing something to share, so I whipped up these bad boys to take in and pass around. They’ll have to wait until tomorrow though, I’m off to spend the day at the Peninsula Hot Springs with B instead (sorry work!)
Despite the fact B’s birthday was way back in February (and we spent it playing with baby wombats!) this weekend he finally got his present from me – a night playing tourist here in Melbourne. I organised us tickets to the comedy festival, dinner, cocktails and booked a hotel room and it was such a lovely way to spend some time together without having to leave our hometown!
This last weekend was not only a 4-day holiday to celebrate Easter, but also my 26th birthday. Having a birthday on Easter has its pros and cons – a lot of people are away for it, but I did have a whole lot of extra time to celebrate!
Yesterday was B’s birthday so we took the day off work and headed to Healesville Sanctuary instead. It was our last stop on our tour of the zoos of Melbourne, and whilst it was scorching hot we still had an excellent time amongst the native animals.
