My bday this year was kind of a big deal. I TURNED THIRTY. Eep! t felt like I needed to celebrate really well this year, with the new decade bring ushered in and all, so I made a glorious birthday cake for myself!
The cake was pink champagne cake, which naturally required that I buy a bottle of pink champagne, and enjoy whatever was left after the recipe. Easy. I followed the recipe from Food 52 and it did not disappoint! So delicious, crazy rich, and super celebratory. As a 30th birthday cake should be.
I loved the thought of adding just a scant drop of food colouring to get a soft pink. I usually stay away from food colouring because it's so artificial looking, but maybe I've just been using too much?
And rose gold spoons, because in my mind, I think that's what fancy grown ups use, and now that's me!
