Golden Birthday

I am breaking my personal rule today and posting without a recipe, or even anything food related.

It’s my 17th birthday and it feels like spring.

What is a golden birthday? This may sound silly, but it’s when the date of your birthday matches your age. My birthday is April 17th. 17 is one of my lucky numbers. My blog is called 17 and Baking. Golden for sure!

I do have raspberry chocolate cake and more relevant, food related birthday dinner stuff coming up that I’m simply too distracted to blog about now… I can’t wait to share it all with you! :)

Thank you to everyone who made this day special for me – I had a lovely birthday.

    Happy Golden Birthday, then!

    I didn’t know about this, but I’m glad you told me. My golden birthday will be next year.

    Can’t wait to see more of that cake. :)

    I know this is over a year later but I just discovered your blog and I’m working my way through it from the beginning. I’m so glad someone else knows about golden birthdays! I’m about half way through mine and anytime I mention it to anyone who didn’t go to my high school they give me weird looks and have no idea what I’m talking about!
