Custom iCake

So...remember how I mentioned earlier how this year was packed full of awesome birthdays?? Well, the first one was my brother-in-law's and it. was. crazy! :D (at least...I enjoyed it) -.-

I just ran across the pics of the cake we made him and I just had to share. My brother-in-law is so awesome and has been such a great friend to me since I joined the family. Since last year I threw my sis-in-law a party for her birthday, this year I knew it was his turn. :) I found this idea on Pinterest and was immediately inspired to make this with my sis-in-law for his birthday! It was a lot of work and took a little bit of sneakiness, but we are just that awesome and it turned out pretty fine! :D Since it was my first huge cake, there's definitely room for improvement, but it was so much fun and that's the main point, right?? :D And a huge shout-out to my sis-in-law, Roshel, who's over at The Dream Team Closet - I couldn't have done it without her. (sorry there's no pic of both of us...that's what happens when SP's in charge of taking the pics, sis!) ;)

We only used apps we knew he had on his phone

The time and batter life are his birthdate and age

Finished Custom iCake!

And speaking of birthdays...today just so happens to be my husband's birthday! X-} Since we're not home, I can't bake him anything today so I ran down to the little Greek bakery he likes and bought him some yummy surprises! I may have to try to recreate them once I get home though cuz they're super cute and would be perfect to serve for dessert when I host my next dinner party. :) Anyways, nobody could be more excited to celebrate with him than I am! I'm crazy about this man, you guys! He's my best friend and I love him like crazy! So of course he'll be getting a super awesome birthday party when we get back home - but tonight we're going to hunt down the Dominoes that's tucked away on a little street in downtown Chania! (I haven't had Dominoes since I was a little girl so we'll see...but it'll be a nice taste of the US for us anyways!) :D

Have a very Happy Day! ♥
