Today is Matt’s birthday! And since we love birthdays we chose to celebrate all.weekend.long. It was awesome.
The first {and most important} detail of the birthday celebration? CAKE! This year I went all out on a homemade layered sprinkle cake.
And since it was Matt’s birthday, I let him pick the cake filling. Of all the flavors, he chose black cherry?? That boy never ceases to surprise me.
Side note: After I wrapped his gifts I went back to last year’s {birthday post} and saw I wrapped the gifts the exact same way. I guess my craft paper & jute obsession hasn’t worn off yet.
Isn’t this place simply stunning?!
And check out this handsome guy…
When we sat down for dinner we were informed that a special bourbon drink had been purchased by our good friends for Matt. How sweet is that?! It was the perfect surprise to kick off 7 courses of food!
Happy Birthday, Matt! I can’t imagine life without you. Cheers to 33! I love you!
The breakfast looks SO good!! Oh wow! Beautiful restaurant!!
Ha ha ha about the bill and rose to you!! Made me crack up!Love that color dress you wore to dinner and that cake looks SO yummy! 🙂 Happy Birthday, Matt!
Looks like a perfect birthday weekend! We celebrated Connor's last night (his is tomorrow) with a big dinner in.
Looks like such a fun weekend. I can't wait for your sprinkle cake tutorial. I am a firm believer that sprinkles make everything better.

The cake is so pretty! Love that you all went there. We've always wanted to try it after many years of walking past it when we lived uptown. Fancy schmancy!

Oh my goodness I love that cake!! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! 🙂
Oh my goodness–SO thankful for this post! My fiance's birthday is next week and other than a new electric razor I had no idea what to get him. He is very easy to please and doesn't want or ask for many things. The monogrammed leather catch-all is the perfect idea. He is constantly laying his wallet, keys, phone, even little notes everywhere. Hopefully this will train him to keep them all in one place. And monogrammed–honestly, could not get any better!XOXO,Rebeccawww.DarlingCashmere.blogspot.com
