best birthday cake.


So I'm heading to Charleston, SC in the morning to be there for the birth of my son, Finn. Not only will it be the celebration of his first (day) birthday, but it will also be Christmas. Now obviously, how do you welcome a beautiful new being into this world when his birthday could be on the same day as Christmas?

The first step: the best birthday cake possible.

BakedNYC (located in Brooklyn) recently opened their first outpost in Charleston. Very different slice of life than Brooklyn, but a great place for foodies, as well. SO, in anticipation of my own monumental event, I decided to special order a birthday cake for Finn from Baked (they've been in Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, etc.). I went with the sweet and salty, because if he is anything like his Dad, he's going to love caramel and sea salt.

They describe the cake as: "Dark chocolate cake infused with a salty caramel, caramel chocolate ganache and topped with fleur de sel." Wow.

This little guy is gonna have it good.

Congratulations on the coming arrival of your baby boy. Love the name Finn. If Piper had been a boy, we were considering that name. Get ready for the greatest day of your life my friend. Happy Holidays!
