While Dan’s favorite dessert is chocolate cheesecake, mine is yellow (or white) cake and fluffy white icing. There is nothing better. We spent our one year anniversary at my mom’s house and to celebrate she offered to make a a fancy dinner and my favorite cake.
We didn’t save the top layer of our wedding cake because we lived halfway across the country from where we got married and knew we wouldn’t be at home for our anniversary, so it didn’t make sense to transport it. So, we got a new cake! yay!
