Birthday surprises

My team surprised me at work yesterday with delicious, adorable cupcakes from Sarah's Candies, which I now know is located dangerously close to my office at Macy's. The cake Josh bought me from Alliance Bakery was even more mouthwatering: vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, filled with lemon curd and decorated with elegant green roses. I dug in without taking a picture, but here's a glimpse at the birthday portrait my mom commissioned. It is now framed and hanging in our basement family room.
