However I did make time to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago with good friends and family with a themed Mexican and Margarita's dinner. But what's a celebration without cake...Since no one offered to bake me cake (yes I'm calling out all of friends that were there) I decided to make my own =) and it was quite tasty!
What goes better with Mexican and Margarita's than a Dulce De Leche inspired cake!

Dulce De Leche
- In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk and brown sugar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes, whisking frequently. Remove from heat; whisk in butter and vanilla. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon Dulce De Leche over cake while it is still hot so that it will drip and drizzle!
