All I wanted for my birthday this year was a strawberry shortcake. My friend planned to bake but ran out of time, so picked up instead (special shoutout Mia’s Brooklyn Bakery btw, was delicious). Sure I know it’s maaaybe a lil basic for a cake rec, BUT… yummmmm. I ate it for breakfast the next day and the one after that too.

A dear friend catered my baby shower with the Triple Berry Cream Cake from Sweet Lady Jane, and there was no turning back.More light cream and sumptuous fresh berries than cake, it feels like love made edible, and makes the impossible seem possible. It has been my birthday cake of choice ever since and is always devoured instantly by my friends and family. Turns out, I am not the only one - many friends treasure this one-of-a-kind delight, so I get to have it more than once a year - and I always delight, transforming into a six year old as soon as it touches my lips.Â

I’m a baker and mostly a cake maker so it’s hard to choose but I love this cake so much it’s so light and fluffy and refreshing and my fav is that it’s not too sweet. Other favs are roll cakes(especially ube and coconut), lord baltimores, basque cheesecake, and Victoria sponge.

The best way to have strawberry shortcake is with the ACTUAL shortcakes (closer to a biscuit than cake). I’m not a huge cake person overall but I’ve especially never loved the “strawberry shortcake” with cake instead of the biscuit like shortcakes. But with those real shortcakes?? 5 stars.

For my birthday this year, I booked myself a room at a nice hotel, went to dinner and drinks with friends, then took myself to a spa the next day for a massage. Ended it feeling loved, relaxed, and refreshed!

If you’re ~mentally ill~ like me, this (little known?) feature in the Health app is a GAME CHANGER. Scheduled med reminders and tracking, plus interaction warnings (including alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis)! And because I’m crazy, I also have as needed medications like Tylenol cataloged in this b. Like I said… game changer.

Best enjoyed after the beach imo but any warm sunny day is a perfectly suitable occasion too!
