It was roomie's birthday this Friday so that means cake time! We have a running joke about how we love being basic although I still really have no idea what that means. I mean really...what is wrong with liking pumpkin spice lattes, apple orchards, plaid, and north face jackets? People need to accept the fact that all of those things are awesome..
Anyways, like I said, my roommate and I have this running joke about how we LOVEEEE basic things so what would be more perfect than a pumpkin spice birthday cake?! The answer is nothing :)
Oh and this time I had 2 excellent pastry chefs to help me out!

Roomie has a borderline unhealthy obsession with corgis so my pastry chefs and I made a corgi cake! Cheers to the most basic corgi cake in the world!
