Happy 1st Birthday HMD!

Would you say that a blog birthday is a sufficient occasion for cake consumption?  I'll just assume that you're  all shaking your heads "yes" and start dreaming about this piece of pink-frosting-y goodness from SusieCakes being shoved into my pie-hole (or, in this instance, cake-hole) and then washing it down with a few heaping glasses of white wine. Yes, those two things go really well together, so please don't try to tell me otherwise. 

Speaking of cakes, how cute are these polka-dot candles from Bake it Pretty? They have all sorts of fun baking accouterments and lots of good cupcakes pictures (aka: pastry porn), if you're into that sort of thing. 

Polka Dot Party Candles, $5.25 for a box of 10

Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement- here's to another year of more haute stuff!

xoxo
