Momofuku Milk Bar Birthday Cake at Whisk Kid

I remember one year, as a kid, I got all worked up about my birthday. I didn’t have a cellphone or an alarm clock at the time, so the only way to know what time it was from my bed was to switch from Cartoon Network over to TV Guide. Shockingly, this didn’t make it…
