Today is Dan’s 31st birthday so Amy and I made him a cake. Amy wanted Dan to have a rainbow and clouds, like her cake did.
She also wanted slugs and snails and worms, as she and Dan have a running gag about making each other eat them. Here is our creation:
Happy birthday my dear, we all love you very much
Kerry, Amy and Evan x

Suprisingly, today, I found out that two others have my birthday at work too. I haven’t run into new birthday buddies like that in years.
I hope that cake tastes as good as it looks. Ellis and Rachel made me blackberry pancakes in bed and I have apple crisp tonight.

Maybe having a birthday on the 1st of February is a european thing:)
Personally I’ve always felt just a little disappointed that I wasn’t born on the 2nd, Groundhog day!

Happy 31. God, I wish I was 31 again (I have modest wants.)

Dan, our family all wishes you the best birthday ever. I, also, would love to be back at age 31, but I’ve decided since it’s your birthday, you can have it.
The cake looks great. Hope you had a wonderful, stupendous day!

Pssst. The slug bodies – they’re licorice all sorts. You might want to skip those. A friend of mine sent me some once. They’re kind of like chewing on those little rubber feet they put on the bottom of electronics. . . with sugar. Regardless, there’s nothing that could diminish the magnitude of artistic accomplishment that is your cake.
You’re a lucky man. Happy birthday, Dan!

That’s nothing Greg. A friend of mine once sent me a packet that was labeled New Orleans style red beans and rice but in actual fact was industrial strength laxative.

The cake looks stunning – Jane Asher had better watch out.

I was quite pleased with it myself. One of the things I remember about being little was the special birthday cakes my mum used to make (a princess castle and ‘pig sty’ in particular).
I want to be one of those mums who make their kids’ cakes, but I haven’t managed it so far. This was my first attempt at something decorative and I’m now looking forward to making birthday cakes from now on. I even managed to let Amy do some of it without changing it afterwards…
The rainbow would have been more of an arch if we’d had enough of each colour, but after opening 4 packets we only had 6 red. They’re all pink and purple these days, which is fine by Amy of course.
Tastes quite nice too, that’s a Nanny Vi’s sponge cake for those in the know. Never lets you down :)
