Hello friends! As you know, Valentine's Day was yesterday, so we took advantage of that special occasion to take pictures, hang out with some of our best friends, and bake a cake! Though the cake may have taken 4 hours to make and assemble, it was really good!! Please no hate on the appearance either.. It may not be the prettiest, but as they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover!" Definitely recommend chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting. Set aside from our delicious cake, spending time with our friends was wonderful. We ate cake, took some polaroids, caught up with everything that is happening in our lives, and watched a movie. A day well spent!
