Happy Birthday, Mike!  For my brother’s birthday last week, I baked him a velvety chocolate blackout cake [devil's food layer cake, chocolate ganache and caramel filling, coated with ground cake crumbs].  Recipe from my trusty Tartine cookbook, of course.  Now, look at this picture beyond the cake.  Can we please talk about my cappuccino-sippin’ mom’s bedazzled cuffs & collar?!  Check out that “fashionable” top!  Questionable studded tee aside, she’s still the cutest!
