CHOCOLATE CHERRY AMARETTO CAKE

So, today I turn 30. That means my 20’s are officially over. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about this. I’m sad that it’s an end of an era, but excited for a new chapter to start. Even know it’s just another year but I feel like I missed a lot.
So I had planned on doing this whole 30 before 30 list and guess what, I never did get the chance to even start that darn list. So I suppose I’m gonna have to do a 40 before 40 list instead, at least that gives me a whole 10 years to work with now!
