Another birthday has snuck up on me. I don’t know that I was really ready for this one, as it means that my 20s are slowly on their way out. But today, I chose not to sit and obsess over the years that have gone by. Instead, I’m looking back on all that I have accomplished in the past, and all that I want to in the future. This year will hold just as much change and growth as last year, if not more. It will be challenging, rewarding, frustrating, fun, and probably somewhat awful at times. But, I’ve got another year under my belt and I’m ready to take it head on. Oh, and I have this cake to fuel me through any and every situation.If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, or know me personally, you’ll probably see that I’ve combined a lot of my favorites into this one cake. Yes, the appropriate “pumpkin season” may be over, but I like pumpkin and by darn I was going to make a pumpkin birthday cake. To go with my pumpkin cake, I decided to make a vanilla bean coconut cream filling, and a dirty chai chocolate ganache to drizzle over the top. I’d say this is pretty much my dream cake. Hopefully you’ll like it too 🙂
