Week 3 - aka Daniel's birthday cake. So my husband, is the one person on earth who doesn't like cake. Now, I know what you're all thinking... how could I have married someone who doesn't like cake. Well, it was VERY hard to overlook, but he was just that wonderful.
Anyway, yes, Daniel doesn't like cake. So I have an inner struggle every year on his birthday of what to do. If I make the cake, then I'm going to eat it all. Yes, all of it. Every. Last. Crumb. I just can't help myself. But if I don't make him a cake then I'm a terrible wife, traditions are broken, the shame of my family, Logan has a terrible childhood, etc. So what's a girl to do?
Well, 2 years ago, I had a breakthrough. One thing Daniel does love is ice cream and more specifically ice cream sandwiches. So for his 26th birthday, I cooked up this gem:
 |
| No, the BBQ sauce does not go on the cake! |
And he LOVED it! But, he basically just ate the ice cream sandwiches and I was still left with the task of eating the entire cake below them. So this year, as I was having my yearly debate with myself about the cake, I came across this wonder on Pinterest:
 |
| Wipe that drool off your face! |
Ummm... duh!! Forget the cake! Just make an ice cream sandwich brick!! So that's exactly what I did! Here you go- Daniel's BEST birthday "cake".
 |
| Complete with 28 candles of course! |
Pinterest is the OBVIOUS winner here (it's a no brainer, mine is all but falling apart), but I feel like the winner because I have finally, FINALLY solved the Daniel birthday cake conundrum- Thanks again Pinterest! Now I only have to eat half of an entire box of ice cream sandwiches, a tub of Cool Whip, and a bag of M&M's - way better than an entire birthday cake!
