Birthday cake! I'm getting old but birthday cake makes it easier to swallow

My birthday is coming up fast and today I decided to scope out Pioneer Woman for cake recipes and have totally screwed up!  I found 2 that I'm dying to try!  I don't need 2 birthday cakes but how to choose which one?  HOW???

The first one I came across was a Milky Way cake. Gooey and chocolaty and caramelly...OMG! And it's from scratch (except for the Milky Ways...but we melt those so they are deconstructed). (pictures are nabbed from Pioneer Woman site just to make sure your mouth is watering like mine is)

 

I should have had sense to stop there but I noticed another cake just below that I had to check out also. A Cherry Cake Pudding...very gooey and full of cherries and cherry juice...OMG! 




Now I have some serious thinking to do.  Do I do what I would normally do and bake both of them because I have no impulse control?  Or do I behave and choose one?   

My sister just messaged me on FB and it looks like we could be baking both of them.  We're cut from the same cloth in some ways!  It'll be fun I think...baking is more fun with company...and maybe some appletini's!  Yeah, appletini's would be great!  Means I need to get some vodka.  Vodka is cheaper than my favorite wine so I can do that!  Goes farther than wine too in my house.  Vodka lasts weeks.  Wine lasts maybe 2 days.  Unless I have a friend around, then it's gone very quickly and my friend and I are very happy for a couple of hours! 

I think we will make sloppy joe's for supper and a tasty salad or something like that.  I want something fresh and crispy like a salad.  Maybe I'll have to do a search for delicious salads next!
