2 Birthdays, 2 Dairy-free Corn-free Cookie Cakes. Molassas and Double Chocolate
11:16 AMThe snow just keeps falling and falling and falling around here. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the sun in about a week!
Despite the weather, we celebrated 2 birthdays in our house this weekend! My eldest turned 4, and Hubby turned 29... again...
We made 2 amazing, delicious cookie cakes that disappeared before the weekend was over! And we did it 100% Dairy and Corn-free.
