How about an orange birthday

Last night I had the privilege of celebrating a birthday with some dear friends, delicious cake, cookies and sorbet. If you're a reader of crafty blogs, you may have a good idea whose birthday it was. With all that orangey goodness, it could only be the lovely Jessica Jones of How About Orange.... I'm so grateful for Jess and the other wonderful women I call my friends!

The yummies pictured above are:
A chocolate and orange cake made by Jamie, our adventurous baker. She recently made this cake by Bakerella and after good reviews decided to try it again, but revamped specifically for Jess. Tasty.
Orange-iced graham crackers made by me. I'm liking using these in place of sugar cookies, as we also did here.
Blood orange sorbet by Ciao Bella brought by Michelle. I'm not typically a sorbet fan, but this was delicious. Much more like a fruity granita in flavor, but sorbet-like in texture, if that makes any sense. And she got it at Dominick's (Safeway)!

Two birthday celebrations for us in one week. I love it!
Happy Birthday, Jess.
