A Birthday Celebration
Today is my birthday, and very often I bake my own birthday cake to celebrate with. However this year a very kind and generous friend gave me a wonderful glazed orange birthday tea cake, decorated with coconut infused mascarpone, glazed orange wedges and desiccated coconut. It was such a lovely surprise, as they questioned me about my favourite cake type and I never suspected for a moment that they would then buy me a cake to save me from having to bake my own! Thank you so much my very special friend!
Today is not only my birthday, but the birthday of many others including one of my favourite actresses Lauren Bacall, guitarist BB King, magician David Copperfield and politician Lee Kuan Yew. Perhaps it is your birthday today too. If it is, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday. If it isn't, then please allow me to wish you a very happy un-birthday! Whatever you do, may you have a lovely day.
Thank you to all my friends and Flickr followers for your kind birthday wishes. I am truly touched and feel very loved and there is nothing better than to know that you are loved, whether on your birthday or at any day of the year.
The tea set in this photograph is a Roslyn "Minuet" tea set, made in England in the 1930s.
