Happy Birthday Mommy!
Today was my mom’s 47th birthday. Although I have the photos I took today saved in a folder called “Mommy’s 23rd Birthday.” We didn’t do much special since she hates birthdays, apparently, and she doesn’t like spending money. So we had lunch at a cheap buffet and then we ate the cake that my sister and I made her!
It looks a little gross in that picture, but it was chockful of love so it tasted great.

I agree with Kat - it doesn’t look gross! It looks delicious. And now I have a craving for some ganache, of course.
Happy Birthday to your mom! My mom doesn’t enjoy her birthdays either - she’s not too keen on getting older.

The cake is darling! My mother says she really enjoys getting older because she’s happy with her life. I hope I’m like that later…

That cake actually looks delicious! And you can’t feel guilty about eating cake with fruit on it. I hope your mom had a fantastic birthday!

Aaw, that’s nice of you and your sister to do. I wish I could bake, well I’m really good at eating cakes!

that cake is quite somnething!

That looks really good.
In my house, we deal with people not liking their age by just not putting it on the cake. Myself, however, I always want my age on the cake. Makes it easier when going through photos to remember what year it’s from.

Hey sweetie….
Sorry I haven’t been around lately. Back to school for me AND the kids has been hectic. How are you? How is school going?
Your MOM is 47? Yikes! That’s only 3 years older than I am!
I love the cake you made her. What a sweet girl!
Hope all is well,

[...] Anyhow, it was my sister’s little little sister’s birthday today. Last year, I shook her awake at midnight and was all “HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY!!!” and she was all like “Doode, I’m 14.” But this year I remembered how old she was. We celebrated by buying her a lovely cheesecake, which looked a helluva lot better than the one she and I made our mom for her 47th birthday. [...]
