birthday blogging

Howdy! Some of you asked me to do a post on what I got for my birthday, so here it is! First of all I want to make clear I am not doing this post to brag whatsoever. I find much more joy in giving presents rather than receiving them. With that said, let's get on with it shall we?

boob balloons!

Okay so this one came as a complete surprise. I got an Instax Mini 7S from my dad! I didn't ask for one, even though I've been dreaming of having one for years now. I have yet to try it out (don't want to waste any film..), but I'm already in love with this baby. My brother got me some pretty flowers! I never thought I'd be a girl for 'bouquets', but I'm in love with this one! Such pretty colors!

Oh and I decorated my room with heart shaped balloons, but the baby pink ones totally made it look like I had butts and boobs hanging around my home.

Cute little goodies from my other brother and his lady n.n

pink goodness!

My mom, sister and her boyfriend got me a hot pink laundry basket filled with all sorts of pink presents! It was hilarious. I love presents which someone has obviously enjoyed picking out or putting together! The big pink super soft teddy bear was a gift from my dear friend Alex. I also made some delicious raspberry cheesecake cupcakes. They were to die for. You can find the recipe right here.

Some other sweet things that came through the mail! Tea in your trousers? Yes plz!

So this was obviously a very pink birthday (which should come as no surprise..). I had a great day and for once there was no drama going on at all! Previous years there was always something bad going on/happening/announced right on my special day, but now that's no more!

I want a walrus for my birthday.

Birthday dream outfit by prouddaydreamer with post earrings

Am I a real adult now? Is it really happening? I know it's cliché to say this but I feel so old. The past few days I've been listening to songs from the early 00's and can you believe that's already at least 13 years ago? WHAT!? Yes I was shocked. But I'm also excited!

The above outfit is just a little something I put together as a dream outfit (and OMNOMNOM CHEESECAKE). Even though I'm already in a party mood today I won't be celebrating my birthday until Saturday, when I will wear one of my prettiest party dresses for special party occasions!

Totally ready for my years as a twenty-something. BRING IT ON. I'm going to leave you with this picture of a Walrus' reaction after getting a birthday cake made out of fish. Isn't that the cutest thing ever? You should also check out this walrus birthday video!

Birthday Weekend

***

Last weekend I finally got to celebrate my birthday at home with my family! It was good finally being all together and home again. I never thought I would miss it this much. Naturally I took a lot of pictures!

Rocking my handmade cupcake scarf! (minus sprinkles)

I got some amazing artbooks from Monsa and a super cute cupcake handcream + chocolate fridge magnet!

My first real, proper handbag, I love it so so so much! <3

super cute ring I also got from my mum c:

I also got lots of crazy neon colored acrylic paint! So awesome.

One thing I really wanted to do was make 'food that looks like other food' which have turned into sugary looking cupcakes, which they really aren't. I was also planning on making a 'meatloaf cake', but I'll save that one for an other time...

My cake was made by this recipe, though I used some delicious amaretto instead of almond extract in the buttercream.

Weird cupcakes in the making.

No those aren't chocolate chips.

Omnomnom cake in the making.

I had never frosted a cake like this before.

I sprinkled some more sugar on top in case the massive amount in it wouldn't be enough

Think this is deliciously sweet strawberry icing? Think again!

'food that looks like other food' cupcakes! With tomatoes, bacon and a creamcheese/beetjuice icing.

deliciousness.

My birthday seems to be cursed though, there's always drama going on and this year was no exception. I don't feel like going into it and as you can judge from the pictures most of the day was still fun and yummy!

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, and here's to the beginning of my twenties!

Bebop and Birthdays!

***THIS EXCITES ME.

First Look of the Day: Thirteen years later, Cowboy Bebop director Shinichirō Watanabe is reuniting with Cowboy Bebop composer Yoko Kanno for a brand new anime about “a naive boy and a scruffy boy [who] share a passion for jazz in a provincial town in the late 1960s.”
Based on Yūki Kodama’s same-named manga series, Sakamichi no Apollon is set to air this April on Fuji TV’s anime programming block,Noitamina.

I am currently back home again to celebrate my birthday and eat cake. The table looks awesome already with a brand new pink tablecloth with white polka dots and lots of candy. Updates will be back soon, but for now it's party time!

I want a birthday corgi...

Or no wait, I'll just start with a corgi candle!

I bet every party gets better with corgis.

Happy Birthday to me!

...to me!
I am officially not a teenager anymore. Ha yeah right, you are obviously an adult when you spend your day crocheting a cupcake scarf, eating chocolate and  listening to Disney soundtracks on repeat.
I am not really celebrating today yet, but on Thursday I'll go back home and bake red and purple cake with twenty candles on top! I got some really sweet cards today already though, including the most amazing cupcake pop-up card from my mum <3 she knows me too well.

The above picture is also the final picture of my 365 project! Clickity click on the button over there on the right to check out all the pictures! I don't think I'll be doing it again this year, but I'll still continue to make as many pictures as possible because it's so much fun going through them later on.
But as I said: I'm working on a cupcake scarf! I finally taught myself how to crochet and once I got the basics down I decided I wanted this to be my first project. I only have two more cupcakes to go, it's gonna be sweet (no pun intended).

I wish I could give pie to all the lovely people who read my blog, but you'll have to do with a cute digital pixel cake.

Xoxo from an old person.
