Cake and Champagne. Two of my favorite things, and they go so well together. Today is my birthday, and that's no April Fool'n. So naturally I want both - cake and champagne! I am like Kate Spade New York, and would love to eat cake for breakfast, if given the chance. Nothing says let's celebrate like a glass of bubbly. So cheers to me and birthday girls (and guys) all over the world.

I saw this blooming cake at Instyle, and it took my breath away. Mr. Ben-Israel is said to be the "Manolo Blahnik" of cakes. Ms. Shop This has visited his bakery/studio, and reported that it was a magical place! So if I could order my birthday cake, this would be the one!

The best Lemon layer cake I have ever had was at Del Frisco's in Chicago. The meal was not good but this complimentary cake was to die for. It didn't look as pretty as this, though. That ombre frosting is beyond!
