Upgraded

After the fancy menu my husband whipped up for my birthday, the pressure was on when it came to his special day. I'm a decent cook but I like to think my forte is baking! My favorite part of birthdays is seriously the cake, let me re-phrase that, the ICE CREAM cake. And usually for the kids I decorate it in a fondant theme that matches that of the party. But now that my husband is in his 30's, I figured he deserved something a little bit more sophisticated. So I retired my Wilton decorating tools for this one and scoured the epicurious website for some scrumptious recipes.

So we invited another couple over for some wine and dessert! I served chocolate mousse with Bailey's Whipped Cream in an edible cookie bowl! It was decadently delicious!

For the family celebration on his actual birthday, I dabbled in a little cheesecake making. I blended two recipes together to create my own Key Lime Cheesecake. I knew it was a hit when I saw people licking the remnants off their utensils!!

My husband enjoyed the indulgence. I thought both desserts were rather tasting myself. But we both decided, no need to upgrade when ice cream cake is just THAT good. My kids agreed!!!
