Today, we celebrate the 234th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. I like to make this a special day for D, so I made him this cake. It’s a marble cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting. While it’s pretty basic, I think the chocolate embellishments make it a little more special. I melted down chocolate from the after Halloween sales to make the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. I think D is going to really like it.
I had the worst time writing today, so the writing on the cake is less than stellar. My hands were so shaky for some reason. Oh well. 😉 It’s the thought that counts.
I was able to purchase some steaks at a really good price, so we’ll also be surprising D with a steak dinner. Granted, he will be the one grilling, but he won’t mind. Now, we just have to wait for him to get home.
Today, I am very thankful for the Marine Corps. It’s not always an easy life, but it’s the life that is right for our family.
