Baking a miniature chocolate cake & other birthday shenanigans 🧣🌲✨ VLOGMAS DAY 18

[@hannarahm]

Thank you so much, Morgan, for filming vlogmas. These videos are a part of what gets me through a hard time in my life. Happy birthday to Landon. Merry Christmas❤

[@kstari]

Just a tip, use the tip of a butter knife under the lid of a jar and twist the knife until you hear the pop of the seal break. Sometimes a good smack on the bottom of the jar with your hand after doing that also helps if it's still a bit hard to get off. Another trick I've been doing is taking a rubber band, putting it around the top of whatever I'm trying to open and then that gives me a much better grip. Happy Birthday, Landon, and I'm glad you are feeling better Morgan. I'm going to miss these daily videos!

[@morganinwanderland]

Happy Birthday! Him being so concerned for your health and you wanting to bake him a cake and make his day special is so touching and shows how much you guys care for each other🥰

[@thearoace]

Have you watched the movie “Miss Potter”? It’s about Beatrix Potter’s life & it’s really super cozy! There’s also a fabulous Christmas scene and a good portion of it takes place at the Lake District

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

I love that movie! I know the whole movie is available to watch on KZbin if anyone is interested. I also read the book - it is very to the T of the film. 😊

[@colleenjones5721]

Happy Birthday Landon! You two are so adorable together. The three of you make this channel so special. Glad you starting to feel better Morgan. Resting is the best medicine.

[@stephanieregaliza]

Happy Birthday Landon. Your presence and energy are so loved!!!! ❤

[@judyrene]

Morgan, another way to open a jar with a metal lid is to break the seal with a spoon! Much easier for me. Just stick the tip of the spoon under the lip of the lid with the back of the spoon against the jar and press on the spoon handle until the lid pops! I’m sure you can find an example of someone doing it online 😊

[@idabustamante7081]

Happy Birthday Landon 🎂 🥳 omg loved watching Roo (tail wagging by) while you made the cake 🐾🐶♥️🙋‍♀️🦌⛄️🎄🎅❄️🎁

[@KeriLudwig1027]

Happy Birthday, Landon!!!!!!! We love you!!!!!

[@juditkovacse]

For the jars that won't open: get a set of anti-slip opener/grip cloths. A pair is the best because you can both hold the jar and the lid at the same time. They make all the difference.

[@GenXtothe7thPower]

And if you lose the silicone grip (like I did) I found out one of my silicone potholders works as well!

[@romuloromero2268]

Thank you for your lovely videos. My wife and I really look forward to your wholesomeness. I hope you feel better!!

[@leonardosclassroom5954]

Happy Birthday, Landon! Build those beautiful cabins!

[@MyLocsareREAL]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON 🎂⛷️ 🚴🏻🎈🎉!!!! All of us in The Ray Family think You’re AWESOME 🤩… Morgan I’m so glad You’re Feeling Better .. Now I want Chocolate Cake 🥰

[@noemij]

Happy Birthday, Landon! 🎉 and thank you Morgan for vlogmas! It’s been such a cozy vlogmas. I look forward to your videos every day! They help me unwind after a stressful day at work.

[@thepageandstage]

I REALLY needed those 3 deep breaths - thank you! 🥰

[@jennifers4142]

Omg the struggle with the jar is so relatable! Hope you’re 100% soon. 😊

[@Marina_LM]

Hey Morgan!!! I would love to see the books you read this year and which ones you enjoyed the most! Big hugs✨🫶🏼

[@eingekuschelt]

Happy Birthday Landon! 🍀🎂 A little trick for opening jars is to use a spoon and go on the eadge of the lid and try to pry open it until you hear a "plop" and then you can easily unscrew the lid 😁 It's just something that i do, because "the struggle is real" 😅❤️

[@munajedski]

YES! It works every time. :)

[@teachloveinspire561]

Happy Birthday Landon! So happy for all of you!!! Landon is so sweet, happy, and always joyful! You are authentic and amazing! Rou is just awesome all around!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

We are singing with you. Happy birthday landon! Perfect looking cake,morgan!

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Thank you Maddie for your beautiful message! I cannot agree more with you. I have had and left so many jobs in my life, because I wasn't happy and the environment I was working in was just awful. I'm 30 now, doing a "small" job in some people's eyes and not making a lot of money, but I'm happy and content. I hope and pray your dream will come true one day and that you'll continue to feel inspired and fulfilled in your job. Good luck with this busy time!

[@anabelvilla12]

The intro is so cute 🥰

[@rachelspencer9456]

I love that mug with the books on it! My sister and I are hoping to make ginger bread cookies this weekend. Maybe we’ll dance with the hand mixer while baking as well 😉 I’m glad you are feeling better. 🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄

[@shetheconcept]

Hi Morgan! I'm from South Africa and usually your videos are uploaded sometime during the night here and its a treat to wake up to! When I didn't see your video first thing this morning I found myself feeling so worried about your well-being especially since you've been sick. It made me realise what a friend you truly feel like and I am so grateful for it! Anyway I am glad that you did post although it would have been more than forgiven if you could not! Thank you for all your hardwork, love and effort. You're truly an inspiration to me and I'm praying I meet friends like you around me❤ Lots of love to You and Roo and wishing Landon a very Happy Birthday 🎈 🎂

[@JM_Rosebranch]

Landon's woodworking goals are absolutely heartwarming. Happiest of birthdays to you sir! Thank you for sharing your birthday books with us! Morgan, I am so glad you are feeling better! When the video wasn't uploaded I was hoping it wasn't because you got worse ❤. Side note your red nails are so classy! Very elegant. Also I think you should start your own baking channel because that was charming and highly entertaining 😆. And that cake looks delicious! Did you make the frosting too? And to Maddie, Happy Birthday to you as well! Your job sounds magical! So many people have fancy careers and are miserable. Having a job you love is about as successful as you can get career-wise. ❤

[@Kyle4k9]

Happy birthday, Landon! And thanks to all three of you for making me smile tonight.

[@amyadams1653]

Glad you are feeling better Morgan, and the cake turn out great! Happy birthday to Landon!

[@mullins809]

Maddie so glad you’re so wise for your age! Happiness in this life is number one - Do not listen to the other voices they do not matter! Listen to your own voice ❤

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

The cake looks amazing, yum 😋. Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 You are a wonderful wife!

[@lisalaurel1352]

This had me in tears, what a beautiful day! I was bawling over Landon and his birthday trip, the excitement over his presents and his reaction to you baking a cake 😭 Also very happy to see you getting better and having a good time with your loved ones 🥰

[@rebeccakelly2651]

Happy Birthday, Landon! May all your dreams come true !!! So glad you're feeling better, Morgan !!! ❤

[@jennifercuson5984]

Yaaay your video posted just in time to get comfy in bed. It's been a nighttime ritual to watch your vlogmas this month and I'll be sad to see it end soon! Love you guys!

[@priscillamontoya]

Happy Birthday Landon! I'm glad you are feeling better Morgan. Thank you for Vlogmas, so enjoying. ❤

[@Esther-bi3vj]

Happy Birthday Landon!!! The cake looked good!

[@elliehamilton8285]

Thanks for helping me on a high anxiety morning Mo Matching jumpers💓 I loved today's message, a quote I like with similar vibes is "its about finding your authentic self, the one you've buried beneath other people needs" I needed it reiterated definitely! Smashed it again, rest up when you can xx appreciate youuu

[@Soniawithani]

I adore A Psalm of the Wild Built, the second in that series is incredible too!!

[@jodyanitawoulf2729]

Happy, happy birthday Landon. Tyfs about your ski trip. Amazing & loved the photos. Morgan it’s so good to hear that you are on the upswing & feeling better & better.

[@Booktrovertdiaries]

Landon makes me want to get into guide books! Happy birthday Landon you’re awesome!!!!🎉

[@beatriceserrano7208]

There you are. I was looking for your video. I hope you are doing better!?! Happy Birthday Landon

[@kimcartwright8111]

Happy Birthday, Landon! It looks like you had a wonderful birthday and yummy cake. I loved the pictures of your trip. It looked amazing! I really appreciated your kindness and concern for Morgan when she was making the cake for you. You are a good person. So happy you are feeling better, Morgan. Thank you Maddie for your encouraging message.

[@shelltays6993]

great video!! I struggle with opening jars too!! my secret is to use a bottle opener, it lets the air in and it will open really easy, hope this helps

[@Peteljka]

Maddie's message is so lovely. Hope her dream comes true. Hope everyone's dreams come true. ✨ And last but no least - happy birthday Landon! 🎂

[@donutgirlbegamin]

Happy birthday Landon! I love you guys ❤🎉

[@LaurenE2689]

I made this cake for my birthday this year! It's so delicious!! Happy Birthday Landon! And Morgan I hope the zicam works like it did for me, feel better love:)

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Happy Birthday Ladon!❤❤❤ Thanks Morgan❤❤😊😊

[@jess53nz]

You need a jar key! They pop the seal on the jar and then they are super easy to open!

[@bethanywhite7904]

You can buy "techtured" shelf paper and cut it into a circle. Then put it on the jar lid and viola jar open!

[@codudenisa1051]

Tip for opening the jar, I then to use a round ended knife like a normal eating one and place the tip of it in between the lid and the glass and lift upward until it pops, then you know air got in and it’s so easy to open 🩷

[@annaarjun4085]

Happy birthday Landon, the books look so good, the cake as well!🎉

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Happy Birthday Landon! I really enjoyed hearing about your skiing trip on Mt. Hood and also your sharing your new books with us. I want one of those squishy balls. Ha. Morgan your chocolate cake turned out beautiful and I bet it tasted even better! Glad you were able to rest and celebrate Landon's birthday the way you wanted too. Take very good care of yourself Mo. Glad you rested and it made me smile when Landon showed such concern for you. Maddie thank you for your wonderful message. Wishing you continued happiness in your job and Happy 2025!

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

I’m sorry you missed the birthday celebration again this year. Hopefully next year (and every year after) is smooth sailing. The cake looks amazing! Happy Birthday, Landon!

[@rachelmilton1429]

I’ve been meaning to make this cake for so long because of how much you both love it and continue to make it every year! It’s not a birthday this weekend, but I feel like it’s the perfect weekend for a cake 🥹🤍

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

So nice, Morgan!❤❤

[@Nicole-secret-gardener]

You already sound much better! I'm glad you are recovering quickly from your cold ☺️. Having loved ones back around you must have helped lots 🥰

[@Euieirieieieiueueie]

the poeple who leave voicemails really tiug on my heart strings and inspire me

[@kelliemdale7]

Happy Birthday, Landon!! 🎉

[@joreads8782]

Highly recommend getting a jar lid popper so you don’t have to use your bench to do it! Saves the hands, and such a life save for me when my arthritis starting rearing it’s head making itself known!

[@Starrysong]

A Psalm for the Wild Built was a wonderful story, and I think Landon will really enjoy it.

[@athertonca]

Using Playtex gloves to protect your hands, run very hot tap water over the metal top. The heat will make the metal top expand and you will be able to twist off the lid.

[@BookBFF]

Happy Birthday to Landon! 🎉🥳 that cake looked delicious!

[@katrinheitzer2859]

Happy wonderful Birthday Landon!!🎉❤

[@leslieinglis6949]

Happy Birthday Landon 🥳 Roo was the cutest sous chef hopefully he was given a dog safe treat to celebrate. 😊

[@martylarson9516]

I’m so glad you are feeling better, Morgan! Love that you had a great ski trip for your birthday, Landon. Mount Hood is gorgeous! RoO is definitely living his best life! Morgan, my family is so excited about your puzzle. Could you link your puzzle board? They think we need one, and I like the way yours looks and works.

[@sarahdevalck]

You guys ❤❤❤ Happy birthday to Landon!

[@alexaz312]

Happy Birthday, Ladon!!! Wishin you all the best :)

Happy Birthday Landon! 🎉

[@undertaken101]

Happiest birthday, Landon! 🎉🥳🎊

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Yay, I was waiting for it, thanks Morgan ❤. Happy belated birthday Landon I hope all your wood dreams come true, I grew up watching my dad building things and it's been always something I admire of him. Also Maddie you're so right I think I have enough working as an SE (I have a Computer Science degree) I crave to work on a bookshop or something similar, away from screens.

[@quietlife7186]

I'm so thankful that you are feeling better Morgan!!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ Happy Birthday Landon!!! 🎈 🎉🎈 🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉 🎈🎉🎈 🎉 Thank you for sharing your story about your ski trip!!! 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️ Sending you my Love!!!❤😊

[@WilcaSauveterre]

Happy Birthday!!❤

I hope I can explain how I do it: I use a knife, not a sharp one, like a butter knife to open the top lid of the jar. I lay the jar on the surface and I insert the knife I suppose at a 45-degree angle between the glass and the lid. With that knife I try to loosen the lid. When I hear the pop sound then I try to open the lid with my hand. I hope it works for you, if you decide to try. 😊 And of course, I wish Landon a Happy Birthday! 🎂🎊🥳

[@JanaHeinzelmann]

Happy belated birthday Landon!! 🎉 Thanks for sharing your special day with us! You have the most wonderful girlfriend. It is always soooo much fun watching the three of you! This Christmas Time would not have been so bright without you guys! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you!!! 🙏🏻❤

Y'all need to hit Sunriver. The Resort is very well priced in March. Bend will have some good Vegan places to eat. Happy Birthday Landon and I am glad you are feeling better Morgan.

Happy birthday Landon!! What a great ski trip! ⛷ I love that you took Roo 😊🐶If you haven't already made the gingerbread cookies, I just used this recipe (The Veg Life, Vegan Gingerbread Cookies With Royal Icing) and they were incredible! It said to bake for 5-6 mins, I baked for 8-9.

Were those gas or electric leaf blowers? Our town banned gas leaf blowers and it has cut down significantly on noise. It’s the difference between night and day.

[@WilcaSauveterre]

[@rosiesestito8063]

Happy birthday landon, KZbin’s favourite boyfriend ❤🎂

[@lauracgc]

For jars I do what my dad did, and use the biggest knife I own and smash the edge of the lid several times haha 😅 works like a charm and looks freaky to anyone watching haha

[@lauracgc]

Also it’s my husbands birthday this weekend and this gave me some cute last minute ideas so thank you! Happy birthday Landon. Thanks for this great video again Morgan 👏🏻👏🏻
