As most of you know, Rebecca's birthday was on August 2nd. Since we were out of town, I was unable to make her our traditional birthday cake on the day of her birthday, so we had it the week after. Since we've been married, I have made her a variety of birthday cakes, but they always include strawberries and real whipped cream (from a carton). The reason for these two specific items is simple. 1) Strawberries are one of her favorite fruits and 2) when we were dating, whipped cream and Cool Whip basically were the same to her. So, for her first birthday after our marriage, I made a cake with the real stuff in order to show her otherwise and it's been her birthday tradition ever since.
Anyway, this year I made a cake from scratch (not my own recipe of course). It was a lot of work and I had to wear an apron that was a little tight around the middle, but . . .

I think it turned out pretty good.

However, the real reason I love celebrating Rebecca's birthday, is so I can celebrate the life of my most favorite person in the world. There are so many things I love about her, but there's just not room on this blog to name them all.
Even though the cake was hard work, Rebecca is definitely worth it. I mean . . . just look at her.

Yowza!
Happy Birthday!
