It's my birthday in February. I've instructed my husband (hints don't work) that I'll be expecting a cake, with icing and decorations, and a couple of bottles of champagne tlo celebrate. It's also my friend's birthday a week later, so he can have a share, too.
I'm turning 40 this year, too. And I will have a birthday party this year. (I know this because I'm the one planning it. ) And the party will include a birthday cake, one as awesome as I can get away with. When I was a kid, my mom made me a cheesecake every year. I love cheesecake.
Mmm.. cake. My birthday is coming up. Given the complexities of the situation going forward, I foresee having to buy a prefab cake this year. 'cause there is NO WAY in hell I will celebrate without a cake. At all ever. Death first.
Wow ... for the first time in my life, I'm suffering from cake envy ... My favorite growing up, golden cake with fudge frosting. These days I buy a two-pack of Hostess cupcakes and stick a candle in one. --Ted
My birthday was a little over a week ago, and my wife made me this cake from one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks: Those are malted milk balls on the top. It was delicious and fun to eat.
