happy birthday you =)
we were in puerto rico driving here and there and filling up the tank before heading back to holiday inn to return the 'corolla-not-hyundai' we got from dollars car rental.
not gonna mention where we ended up going that morning... or where we ate for lunch.
but we managed to get ourselves along with the bags to the airport no problemo.

anyway.. there's no celebration going on that night after we arrived home.
but we did go out to some yummmmmm restaurants during the week.

and came the 6-hour cake saturday night.

layers of dark chocolate cake and white, between them chocolate buttercream and raspberries, and whipped cream and banana, all under one roof of dark chocolate buttercream somemore, with chocolate sprinkle and 2 raspberrie. =)

don't know how i pulled this one off.. but here're the pics from that night.

happy birthday love.


i love you!
