I bought the wood plates from Muji. They were about $10 each and were perfect for picnics. The aeonium is from Home Depot in Manhattan, but I’m hoping to find more succulents in the neighborhood.

I baked these mini cupcakes for a friend. I laid off on the sugar a bit, but I personally loved her recipe. The paper flowers with tooth pick stems and sprinkles made the mini cupcakes more lively.

It was my husband’s birthday on monday, and we celebrated with just the two of us at home. I wanted to surprise him this year, so I hid the cake in the oven and rushed to buy grocery, flowers and balloons in the afternoon. The dinner menu was Scallops with Beurre Blanc Sauce, Shrimp with Bisque Sauce, and Flat Iron Steak. Oh, and served with William Hill from Napa Valley. The birthday cake went very well, and he enjoyed it. I added some gelatin in the whipped cream this year to give it a firm and mousse texture. At the end of the day, I was proud of myself to surprise my attentive husband.
