A very special person had a significant birthday this week. I know my daughter celebrated in style and, in our more modest fashion, we paid homage to Valentine’s day. Cake is for sharing, isn’t it? And who better to share with than lovely Su.

Very happy wishes to your daughter. The cake looks scrumptious. Hopefully you can celebrate together in the not too distant future.

Thanks, Sue! One day… 🙂 🙂 She may even have kept me a bit of cake (in the freezer) Such an optimist!

I’d rather like a taste myself, Otto. I’m hoping she’s frozen me a small portion for whenever we’re together again 🙂 🙂

She’s more golden these days, and somewhat harassed workwise- you know that feeling!- but she had a week off work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks, sweetheart! 🙂 🙂

What a great cake, Jo, although I’m not a fan of marzipan so someone else could have had the mushroom with my blessing. Happy belated birthday to your daughter.

She had planned to be in Venice, Su, so I wouldn’t have seen her this week, but sometime soon. Thankfully the cake conspiracy was a big success. Her husband doesn’t drive so best friend had to be in on it too 🙂 🙂

Oh wow, quite a cake, Jo. What are the “mushrooms” made of? I’d eat the decorations first. Happy birthday Lisa.🎂

Marzipan. The cake is a kind of cherry bakewell tart flavour, if that means anything to you, Miriam? And yes- it would have been a naked cake in our house too 🙂 🙂

I’m not a cake maker or eater because both my husband and I have to stay away from sugar, but once in a while when we party, I give permission to myself to have fun. This is a fun cake, Jo. 🙂 🙂

If I had, I’d have had to ship it to the UK from Portugal. My talents don’t run in that direction at all. What talents, I ask myself? My daughter inherited most of hers from her grandma 🙂 🙂
