One of the best parts of being a baker with a birthday is that it's the
perfect excuse to make whatever kind of cake your heart desires. No
need to cater to anyone's taste but your own. For my own birthday this
year I had my friends over for a full meal of my favorite comfort foods -
fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, mac and cheese... I spent the whole
day in the kitchen and it was well worth it. But the cake is the star
of any birthday, so I wanted to make something a little special.
