Baking My Own Birthday Cake ✨ | Mid-30s Documentary

Описание: I turned 35 🎂✨

This year I celebrated quietly — by baking my own carrot birthday cake, testing the viral Japanese cheesecake everyone’s been making, walking through an almond blossom garden by the sea, and cooking a cozy dinner with potato gratin and roasted oyster mushrooms.

No big party. Just sunshine, spring air, mascarpone cream, rosemary from the market, and candles shaped like 35.

Birthdays feel different now. Slower. More intentional. I’ve learned that we’re responsible for creating our own joy — so yes, I bake my own cake, choose where we go, cook the dinner, and make the wish.

And I’m happy doing it.

Thank you so much for watching and spending this day with me 🤍 It truly means more than you know.
