So yesterday was my birthday-- the Big 3-0, as it were-- and it was great! I'm going to enjoy this new decade of life! :)
These were my cakes of note this past week:

| Four layer red velvet wedding cake that was scored with a diamond cutter |
Over the weekend, the hubs and I went up to Washington, DC to attend the birthday celebrations of the resident pandas. They were crazy adorable, and I got to see most of them (the little 1-year-old, Bei Bei, was too scared to come out), including my birthday buddy, 3-year-old Bao Bao! It was super exciting!

We also got to see the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument (as well as the Reflecting Pool). I have never in my 30 years been up close to these amazing structures, and I was so happy to finally go!
Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to visit any DC bakeries, but I think another trip is looming on the horizon. Pandas and Pastries DC Plan!
And in case you were wondering: Well, who makes the birthday cake for the cake maker?
My best friend and hubs teamed up to order me a lovely, lovely panda themed cake by All Bent Out of Cake of Newport News, VA:

| Best. Birthday cake. Ever. |
Coming up this week is a farm animal and vegetable theme (making a scratch carrot cake!) and a giant Lego block. Stay tuned!
