My husband’s birthday was this past Sunday, and I wanted to make it extra special for him. He has been working on growing a handlebar mustache for several months now, so I knew he would appreciate me recognizing his efforts with his birthday cake! I present to you, The Mustache Cake.

Aunt Winnie’s Peanut Butter Bars
Any time I ever visited my Great Aunt Winnie, there was always a feast. There is never an empty stomach in her house! And of course, she always said, “Oh, it’s nothing special… just a little dinner”. Well, to her, “just a little dinner” usually consisted of one fabulous main course, at least…
