This past Monday (June 21st), my sister and I celebrated our birthday. Despite having to cancel our party, our friends still pulled together to make it a very memorable day.

Over the weekend, my sister and I celebrated with our family. We decided to make cake balls in lieu of an actually birthday cake. They were delicious, but way too rich! I think next year we might just stick with a cake!
Ours were a bit messier than Bakerella’s! They’re chocolate with bits of toffee.
Then, on our actual birthday night, we gathered at my apartment and hit the bars (after having to cancel the actual party due to plumbing problems). Sorry, no photos, though I did wear this dress.
And today, for the second time, I made Alyssa’s delicious pizza recipe, though I skipped the fresh basil and cheated with a store-bought crust. The ingredients are: pesto, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and Parmesan. Delicious! My first attempt at it was much more successful; today it was a bit scant on cheese, and a little heavy on the tomatoes (fault of my boyfriend). Nonetheless, it was delicious!

Seeing this post made me hungry for that pizza again! I just went to the grocery store and bought tomatoes and mozzarella. I’m skipping the basil and doubling the pesto this time!
Your photos are beautiful!
