My Birthday Sign: Cancers Like to Cook

So I've disappeared again. But it was because I was busy getting older. My birthday week just passed me by, so the month of July will be dedicated to amazing birthday related food posts.
What constitutes a birthday related food post? Well, I baked four different cakes during my birthday week, for starters, and received a juicer and a pasta roller as gifts. Additionally, my sister gave me three new cookbooks that I will be delving into, along with an apron so sexy that I'm tempted to wear nothing else when I am in the kitchen. Watch out, Jamie Oliver, the real naked chef is on your tail!
I had the fortune of sharing my birthday week with my sister's engagement party, for which I was asked to prepare my damn good chocolate cupcakes. Now, I know I've been bragging about them for weeks, but I'm a little tired of them. So I modified them (I'll tell you how soon) and added a few other treats to my lovely dessert spread.
 
So keep your eyes open throughout the month of July.  Promised posts include Upgraded Damn Good Chocolate Cupcakes, Dark Chocolate Cake with Espresso Buttercream, Cinnamon Spice Cake with Orange Glaze, and Lemon Crepe Cake, for starters.
 
I haven't forgotten about my first love. 
 
Food.
