🎊 Happy New Year to Me
Final Birthday Outtakes

Some final Happy New Year to Me outtakes, starting with a Zoom birthday call from my motel in Kittatinny, PA!

A surprise birthday card before my departure–when your classroom paraprofessional spends her free time making you stars… ❀️

My Mom scored some vegan cupcakes from Whole Foods for me, but I still had to make something sweet to bring to my family’s. Because I had a hankering for tiramisu since peeping this recipe.

The cake for soaking, the coffee and bourbon mixture (because I had no Amaretto) and the cashew and yogurt based cream ready for layering…

The cake was so light and it really sucked up the spiked coffee…

Layers done

And a sprinkling of cocoa powder

A clear pan is a must for tiramisu

Packing things up for the trek to Long Island

Ready for eatin’

How has my Italian Dad never had tiramisu?!

Happy to be gifted a new tripod that extends taller than me!

Some left to bring to work…

Ok, that might be the end of festivities. I think…
