At the Request of the Birthday Girl

By 21 Comments

Since the last time I chatted with you all, I have been a busy bee…in the kitchen!

One batch of Dark Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.

And, ummm….oh yeah…some of these too.

Yes, that would be three different flavors of Jell-o shots (again at the request of the Birthday Girl!). The ones marked with the orange stickers are made with Malibu and raspberry sugar-free Jell-o, so you can bet your last dollar that I’ll be hoarding as many of those as I can.

Hey, what can I say? We know how to have a good party. Party smile

Time to head on out!

Oh yeah…and make sure you head on over to Bethany’s Blog to check out my guest post on one of my favorite all-time dessert recipes: Apple Crisp.

Question for the Afternoon:

What kind of cake/treats do you like to request on YOUR birthday?

  1. Oh my god those cupcakes and cookies...and jello-shots (let's be serious) look delicious! For my birthday- in less than 2 weeks, yay!- I always like to have this amazing cake that comes from a bakery in my town. I actually don't even care about the cake, it's all about the buttercream frosting. It's to die for! And, a good glass of wine or two at dinner is always perfect as well :) hehe

  9. wowww! Look at all those Jello shots. I am impressed. Of course, everything looked delicious, but those jello shots took me back a bit to the college days ;-) Looks like it will be a fun bday! For my bday, I love a good cookie cake. I'm sure that there are plenty of good cookie cake places in NYC but my favorite cookie cake is from this place called the Cookie Company in Nebraska. Since I'm going home to visit right after my bday, I'll have to start dropping hints to ensure that I get this special treat. But my guess is that my mother has already ordered it a month in advance!

  12. Yum!! Those cupcakes sound delicious!! The jell-o shots don't sound too bad either ;) I would say have a good night, but with everything you're bringing...could you really have anything but a good night?

  14. Moo Moos Turtle Cheesecake Ice Cream Cake! Moo Moos is a local ice creamerie and this cake is SO rish and delicious. I am drooling. I am so happy my birthday is only a couple weeks away! By the way I am making Cookies and Cream cupcakes tonight and I plan on using your delicious white chocolate buttercream frosting!

  16. Those cookies sound/look amazing- my 2 faves in 1 (cake & cookie)! On my birthdays, I go big with my requests! For my 21st birthday, I asked for a chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake (the base was a huge cookie and then the cream cheese had cookie dough bites mixed in) and this year, I asked for an ice cream cake which was a chocolate brownie with one layer choc chip ice cream, 2nd layer coffee ice cream and then all topped with cream! What can I say, I'm a dessert whore- takes a lot to please me :)

  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving

  • Jay and I had been planning a secret overnight trip to @greatwolflodge for the boys for about a month and a half, and seeing their reaction to the surprise made the wait totally worth it😲(you can see that in my IG stories today!). They swam until their fingers and toes were raisins, played a gazillion games, stayed up way past their bedtimes, and ate like kings.🤗 Aaaaand, now I’m ready to be back home, in my own bed 😴 #greatwolflodge #surprise #familyfun
