second year baking my own birthday cake

last year I spent the afternoon of my birthday home alone, baking my own cake while my parents were gone. it happened again this year and they kind of forgot because they've been spending as much time as possible over the last 16 days with my grandfather at the hospital where he's been really sick and not in a good spot.

it still feels weird, because I didn't intend on living to 16, never mind a whole decade beyond that... but here I am 😅 I tried my own recipe for a peanut butter cake with peanut butter buttercream because I'm just obsessed with the stuff, and it is simple but I'm pretty happy with it. will link my recipe in the comments if anyone is interested.

here's to 26! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
