Happy 23rd birthday to me!

Hi everyone :)

Hope you enjoyed the Christmas and New Year break. I've been spending my summer by hanging out in the kitchen and having the occasional swim in the pool. Eva doesn't like the pool very much. She doesn't appreciate the cold water like I do yet haha.
On the 5th I made a cake for my birthday party (Sad that I had to do it myself, I know! It's unfortunate that nobody else in the family are great bakers. And I'm too much of a tight-ass to spend hundreds on a cake that I could do myself!)
Anyway, this is my creation.

Bottom cake is a delicious carrot cake and the top is vanilla. Both with lemon buttercream. I chose fresh flowers for decoration as I wanted to avoid using fondant. Extra work to add on my 'to-do' list otherwise. The lovely florest at Florist Ilene in Frankton did a great job putting the vibrant coloured flowers together for me She had strict instructions... I didn't want my birthday cake looking like a wedding cake.
