Yesterday was my birthday -- a Friday the 13th birthday, my luckiest day. I was born on a Friday the 13th. My next Friday the 13th birthday won't be until 2020. To celebrate my special day, I made myself a cake. A whole big cake just for me (okay, I shared with the husband).
It isn't fancy. In fact, I even used a mix! I tried to make a pudding poke cake, which sounded kind of fun, but my pudding was a little too set up, so it didn't flow into the holes. So instead, it's a chocolate cake with pudding filling and whipped cream. I expect we'll wind up throwing some of this away, but that's okay. I'm worth a cake on my special day!

Happy Belated birthday. I hope you were out or in enjoying it and didn't hear about the tragedy in Paris until today. Have I missed your posts or have you just not been blogging? I'll have to check. Take care!

Happy happy BIRTHDAY! The cake looks fantastic and perfect for the celebration.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday....so sorry this is so late in the day. I tried a couple of times to comment. It just wouldn't let me. Finally I decided to use Chrome as my browser....and, here we are. Hope your day was just what you wished for...how much cake did you eat?...laughing...please pass a slice or two to me.
ReplyDeleteYUM!! And a very happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Hope you and your husband enjoyed the pretty cake. You had commented on my blog about the veggie soup, that you wouldn't have thought to add quinoa to the soup. It wasn't quinoa - it was pasta that's made from quinoa flour! It's gluten-free. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Lynette! I hope you enjoyed your special day and had at least 2 servings of your yummy cake!
