Today is my 20th birthday. Yikes. Several months
ago I was really anxious about turning 20 and it only got worse the closer it
got to my birthday. People would bring up my upcoming birthday or the fact that
I would be turning 20 and I would subtly (or maybe not so subtly) try to change
the subject. I am sure a lot of people could not wait to get out of their teen
years, but something about the thought of leaving my teen years and starting a
new decade kind of bothered me. I have always been a nostalgic person, so
nostalgia was probably the biggest factor.
BUT, now that my birthday is here, it’s not so bad. I think
it was the anticipation leading up to it that made me anxious. This is so cliché,
but…it is just a number. I mean, I am only a day older than I was yesterday. And,
today was a great day. I have a wonderful family and great friends that make me
feel extra special on my birthday. :)
I like to use my birthdays to try out new, exciting cakes that I want to
make. If you remember, last year was the cactus cake to go with Cinco de
Mayo. This year I made this little guy:
Mr. Narwhal, meet my friends…friends, meet Mr. Narwhal!
Why a narwhal? Well, mainly because narwhals are awesome. :) The
idea had been floating around in my head for a while, so he was picked to be my
birthday cake!
I took step by step pictures of the process, so I hope to
post a tutorial very soon. I just have to finish my two last finals of the semester! It will be
my first tutorial, so I am excited, but I hope I can pull it off!
Alright, time for Mr. Narwhal and me to say goodbye for now.
We will be back soon, as promised!
