This weekend I celebrated my 30th birthday with an awesome carrot cake my husband made me. It didn’t turn out perfect (darn bundt cake pans are tricky if you don’t know what you are doing) but it was the first he ever made special for me and it even included my favorite, homemade cream cheese frosting! For a present he got me a very cool bike. Thanks honey!
For dinner my husband and I shared some awesome sushi. I got a Maki Combo (along with a tuna roll) which includes a variety of the CHEF’S CHOICE. And in it I found this bad boy. A bit scary but I decided to be daring and bold. I was really surprised that it was a little chewy but good.
I think I’ll spare you all the picture my husband took of me eating it. I’m not sure you all want THAT visual. (Sorry Cat. I hope you didn’t just faint!)
For more Wordless Wednesday check out Oh My Sugar High for my first fondant cake, The Shopping Mama , 3 Kids and Us, Jennifer Leigh Designz, 5 minutes for Mom and Seven Clown Circus.
Happy Birthday! You are brave for trying that… I think I would too, though. I’m a fan of seafood!
I’ve been married for 13 years and my husband has never made me a cake. You’re a lucky girl. Plus I LOVE carrot cake!
Happy Bday!
Just wanted to say thank you for following me!
Happy birthday! You’re definitely brave for eating that. I’m getting weirded out just looking at the picture. You must have one strong stomach.
Sorry Miranda! It is just one of those things. Either you love sushi or you just can’t stomach it at all. I have yet to try any sushi I didn’t like, except for the super hot stuff, so I felt comfortable taking a chance. If I didn’t my husband would have. But I’m with you, it is downright SCARY to think I ate that.
No need to apologize LOL I just think that is one crazy food and you are one brave mama.
Happy Birthday! You made me so hungry with those sushi pics. I haven’t had good sushi since I moved home from Japan. *sigh*
Oh no! For a long time we didn’t have a local sushi restaurant but a Japanese restaurant opened up here a year or two ago. They have a great selection of sushi but they also have authentic Japanese cuisine. For a while there we could only get it at our local grocery store. Amazing the difference in quality! Great meal to have in the summer since it is so light.
Happy Birthday!! I too love sushi.. great looking birthday cake you got.
Happy Birthday! What an awesome husband you have!!!
Happy 30th birthday. I am not a seafood lover so seeing those parts and suction cups and curling tail and icky, icky, icky things hurts me, Emilie. It just does.
But I’m glad you loved it and I will have a piece of that cake if you please!
Happy birthday! I love love love sushi
I eat it probably 1-2 times a week!
Happy 30th Birthday! I just celebrated my 30th earlier this month. It sounds like your family spoiled you just right!!
That’s so sweet. I hope my husband makes me a cake someday. I think I’d pass on the sushi though.
Ah that sushi is scary lol. I am such a wuss when it comes to sushi. And how sweet of your hubby to make you a cake! Happy belated birthday!
It looks like you had a wonderful birthday celebration! It’s so sweet that your husband made you a cake! So thoughtful! I love sushi, but I’m really not so sure about that crazy looking thing you got.
I am scared! But Happy Birthday!
My goodness, 30 seems forever ago! And that tenticle? Oh, I don’t think so! You are more woman than me! Happy birthday. Hope the next decade is amazing!

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. On the octopus sushi- did the suction cups stick to your cheek? I had octopus at a Greek restaurant once, and felt like the little cups were trying to cling on for dear life. LOL. I will never forget that!
Happy Birthday! I would NEVER have been able to eat that thing! You are much braver than I.
Happy 30th Birthday! Great cake! I couldn’t eat that sushi esp that kind! lol
Happy 30th Birthday!
I hope one of these days I will be brave enough to try sushi!
Happy WW!
Happy 30th! I was pregnant during my 30th birthday so the celebration was minimal. It is incredibly sweet of your husband to bake you a cake, perfect or perfectly imperfect! I may have to hint around to my husband about that for my 35th next month!

Hmmm. Makes me wonder if my husband has ever made a cake for me. I don’t think he has!
Okay, back to you. I can’t BELIEVE you ATE that??? I am such a wimp when it comes to food. I’m not sure I’d let that on my table, much less my plate and my mouth!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday and Kudos to hubby for baking and making it a special day for you!
A late Happy 30th Birthday to you.
Nice of your husband to make you a cake.
Have a happy happy birthday love! Are you sure that you are 30? I reckon younger.

Happy belated b-day! I’m turning 40 this year–yikes time goes fast.
Looks like you had a nice birthday. I’m all for trying new things, but I’m pretty positive I wouldn’t ever eat anything that looked like that.

Sounds like you had a wonderful 30th birthday! Your hubby did a great job making you that cake, yum! As for the sushi and that squid (is it squid??) I got really frightened looking at that, LOL! You are a brave woman!! LMBO about what Virginia said (did the tenticle stick to your cheeks) ahaha! Well, did they?!
