Birthday Dinner Party Night Part 1

Well, tonight is the night. Make the offer, it's accepted. Now the ball is in my court. Lots and lots and lots of prep goes into something like this.

Every ingredient in the house. My mother, knowing me really well, suggested that I "cheat" and get already made cakes, say from Nothing Bundt Cakes, that worked out perfectly! 

Appetizers are assembled and in the fridge....
Bacon is made, really to be added to the pasta carbonara later! (More importantly, at least to me, the stove is clean again) Oh, crap...off to clean the bathroom!
