A short & candid post about my vegan birthday…
Last Saturday was my 23rd Birthday (YAAAY)! And contrary to the typical party that my family usually throws, this year I opted for a nice vegan dinner with friends & family.
Here’s a recap…
Early in the morning, my mom made my favorite pancakes, Oreo Pancakes! Complete with melted non-dairy chocolate chips on top.
The 11th of August is also the day that I received my lovely Barbs <3 This year is our 7th year anniversary together!
Later in the afternoon, I went to local jewelry designers, Muns Jewelry, a brand new shop opening event.
And then in the evening, we had dinner at my favorite plant-based restaurant, El Grifo. We had previously reserved their second floor for about 25 people.
Here are some photos & Instagram stories regarding the food (unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures of our meals since we didn’t want anyone in my family to feel uncomfortable).
Now, let’s talk about the cake. Midweek the person who was in charge of making my vegan cake, canceled. Midweek? A vegan cake for 25 people? Where?! I quickly remembered that one of my Instagram followers has a Vegan Bake Shop called Atabey’s Vegan Shop. I was so relieved when she agreed to work on the cake.
I ended up getting their Vegan Double Chocolate Cake with Avocado-Chocolate Ganache, and I couldn’t be any happier! Everyone loved it…
aaaaand that’s a wrap everybody!
