I just wanted to post on my birthday presents which I received early from Sisters No. 3 and 4. I had wanted to bake my own birthday cake from a recipe from one of the books but I didn't in the end. A few years ago, if somebody had suggested that I bake my own birthday cake, I probably would've balked at the idea. But now, and I'm sure this has got to do with aging *gasp*, I'm very comfortable with the thought of baking my own birthday cake.
Why didn't I then? Well, my hubby went out and bought me an ice-cream cake. At first, I thought "It's ice-cream. It's not the same. We can have cake AND ice-cream". Moreover, I had already bought all the ingredients. But then, my older son had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon and of course, he would have cake there. And I thought that's just too much cake for him in one day (not to mention the ice-cream, pancake and various other desserts he had during our buffet lunch!). So I decided not to make the cake. Maybe next year!
Happy birthday toooooooooo yoooooooooooooooou
