Let Them Eat Cake!
Especially For Birthdays!
So Thursday, September 30 was my darling Rick's Birthday and we went out to a fave local restaurant with friends. Also, our friend, Kitt Moran (who is a fab jazz singer) was performing there that evening!
One of the traditions in Rick's family, is that birthdays require the baking of chocolate cakes. So I got busy. Rick is also a cherry fanatic so I decided to make a Black Forest Gateau for his birthday this year, and here's how it turned out.
The only problem we have now, is how do we get through the rest of the birthday cake with just the two of us? I'm not sure that it is entirely sensible for me to be baking three layer cakes for two people, even on birthdays!
Mine is coming up soon, so I think this certainly "takes the cake" for both birthdays!

Happy birthday to your special one and yours when it comes
Hope it was an amazing event
Wish I had your kids here, then - I can see the pounds piling on around the middle in the next few days, Simone. Thanks for your good wishes.
