Paul eats meat, and he wanted the Breakfast Burger, but many in our party are vegans and vegetarians, so this was the perfect place for all of us. Of course, I ordered the Impossible Burger with Vegan Smoked Gouda. And Paul and I shared a giant bowl of the Kennebec Fries. This burger is, by far, the best vegan burger out there. It's so meaty and greasy. LOVE IT!
Paul always requests Chocolate Cupcakes, so that's what he got again this year. I used the chocolate cupcake and buttercream recipes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World — my go-to recipes for years. They never fail. I made minis since I knew we'd all be too stuffed from our burgers for a full-sized cupcake.
The recipe made 36 minis, and I took 24 to the restaurant. It took many hands to light them!
Here's Paul making his birthday wish.
And here's the whole gang! Afterward, some of us went bowling. I stayed up way too late for a work night (midnight!), but special occasions call for such things!
Your burger looks amazing!! An the little cupcakes are too cute! Happy belated birthday to Paul!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy Belated to Paul!! What a fun celebration! That place sounds amazing and your impossible burger looks so authentic it is crazy! That melty cheese, my goodness! The cupcakes are adorable and smart thinking on the minis ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIs Paul making a wish or reliving himself? Lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe both? 😬
DeleteHappy birthday Paul!
ReplyDeleteI 100% am on board with the size of that bowl of chips!
Happy birthday paul!! What a perfect choice for a birthday dinner-who doesn’t love a burger and fries??
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable cupcakes! I like minis because there’s a higher frosting to cake ratio :))
