A Present

No, I did not bake this cake, rather it was a present :) I can't believe I am saying this... I guess not being face to face with people makes you do and say things that you would normally never do. So here goes - the cake is a present because today is my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . You fill in the blank. A cousin of mine currently visiting turned up at my home yesterday with this delicious present so I thought that instead of showcasing something that I made, I'd share with you a piece of my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cake. He baked and frosted it himself, I think that deep down inside, he is a little foodie just like me :) Thank you Yohann!

So, enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I'm so sorry for commenting 2 days late. I always think, though, that the actual DAY of the festivities doesn't really matter. Whenever people want to throw me a parade or bake me a cake, that's just fine. I hope you're having a wonderful week.

Enjoy!

JennDZ - The Leftover Queen June 29, 2007 2:41 PM
