Dwarf And Dragon Birthday Cake

Close up view of the cake I made my husband for his birthday, which is today.  Can you see the dwarf?  He's protecting his stash of strawberries from the dragon.

I had such fun making this cake.  Its two layers of vanilla confetti cake with a layer of Oreo cream frosting in-between for filling.

I then made my own vanilla frosting to coat the sides and top of the cake.  The strawberries are from my own garden which makes them organic since I use no pesticides or any other bad crap.

I pulverized graham crackers for the dirt and added unsalted peanuts for stones.  The green grass is of course green frosting and the candles spell out "happy birthday".

I tried to make a moat around the dragon so that the dwarf would have some trouble trying to get to the dragon.  I don't want a killing spree on the cake!

I just hope that J doesn't mind me using some of his Dungeons and Dragon's figurines for his cake.

So tell me what you think?  Its been a few years since I've actually made and decorated a birthday cake...about 5 years to be more precise.

Showing Me Love

Last night my husband went out with one of the guys for pizza.  I like my once a week alone time.  Its time I get to think, read, day dream, just in general vegetate.  He came home early with our friend and presented me with lilies and irises.  Several different types of lilies.  He kept fairly quiet talking D&D with our friend through the night in another room.  I watched some television in the living room.

I say the guy is our friend because I met him first at chapel and knew right off he'd be a fun friend for my husband with similar interests besides the Army.  Sure enough they had a good night generating characters and discussing  escape plans with what is allowable for items.

I love my geek husband.  I really do love the nerd in him.  I too enjoy playing D&D.

Since tonight is our date night I'm going to keep this post short for today.  I think this is my first short post in a while.  I realize that my life has been rather mundane of late but I rather like the ordinary life.

 Sunday we head out to our chapel here on post for our late night Samhain celebration.  More about date night happenings tomorrow if I get the chance.
