I feel very fortunate to have a good handful of friends from college who live close by. It makes celebrating birthdays all the more fun because everyone gets together and we all have a chance to catch up.
Tonight a gang of us headed out to Mucho, a restaurant in downtown Orlando, to celebrate my friend Kaitlyn’s 25th birthday.
The evening began with chips and salsa.
The chips and salsa seemed to refill automatically and I feel like I ate an entire platter full of chips and salsa myself over the course of the evening. Both the chips and salsa were homemade and so, so good!
For dinner Ryan and I ordered a chicken quesadilla and fish tacos and split them down the middle.
We both agreed that the quesadilla was the better of the two. Anything dripping in cheese is bound to taste good!
Once everyone’s plates were cleared, our waiter brought out the cake that I made for Kaitlyn and we all sang to her as she made a wish and blew out her birthday candles.
Everyone enjoyed pieces of red velvet birthday cake in honor of Kaitlyn!
I had two helpings, plus a load of icing (not to mention all the icing I ate when I made the cake!).
I am officially stuffed to the brim.
I think my body will welcome tomorrow’s morning blogger boot camp class. I can’t wait! To those of you who are coming, I’ll try not to cramp up due to icing overload, but I make no promises.

Chips and salsa I can dominate, soooooo good and addicting, I seem to not get stuffed off of them!
Going out for Mexican with friends is always a great time! We did this last weekend. Although, I think my favorite part of the meal may have been the margaritas. 😉
Looks like a fun time!
What could be better than the combination of Mexican food and cake?! 😉 Love it!
What a great night! You are so lucky to have great friends.
Awesome job on the cake Julie! Looks like you guys had a really fun night!
I’ve seen Mucho before and liked the way it looked but we had already decided to go to Dandelion that day…I have a GroupOn for Lime and I think we’re heading there for lunch today! Have you ever tired it?
No I haven’t! Let me know how you like it if you go!
The boyfriend talked me into Cheesecake Factory instead since we were at Millenia…I don’t know how I didn’t see that coming! I’ll let you know how it is when we do go though!
Happoy Birthday to Kaitlyn! And you are lucky to have so many college friends close by!
Quesadillas looks lovely! Happy Birthday to Kaitlyn!
I love that you and Ryan split your meals down the middle! 🙂
Oh. My, Goodness. Red Velvet is my favorite type of cake in the entire world. I already know it’s what i’ll be serving at my wedding someday. And homemade? I die.
Looks like a fun night! Do you have a recipe for the take and go cake? Yum yum!
