{24th birthday fête}

To be honest, I've had better birthdays.. I was sick on this one.

Happy 23rd birthday to me.

Vegan pumpkin cake.

Hooray! Today is my birthday and I'm 22!
It's kind of odd..
When i was little I never thought that I would live to be 20.
It just seemed so far away.
But now i am beyond that

and fine
 
I baked my birthday cake
Still need to ice it though.Got the recipe from wholefoods.com
vegan maple-almond cake.
I baked two circular cakes because I needed enough cake to carve into the shape of an owl.
I tasted a scrap of cake and..
I loved it!

It wasn't tooth-shatteringly sweet.

The recipe doesn't even call for sugar.. maple syrup is the sweetener.

{Day 1}

3 days until my birthday, which means 20 until halloween.

tomorrow i get to visit my old second home.. whole foods!
i have 5 new recipes to try, including birthday cake
plus veganizing more recipes from the scandinavian cookbook that my grandma gave me
potatoes and lingonberries = good stuff
