i've been threatening to take this speshal cake (which i last made when Woozie was a baby) to the beach ever since... oh... since Deb had her birthday two weeks ago and *didn't* pre-announce it lol (and now she's awaiting the arrival of
so today we grabbed our girlies and headed for the sands (we had to BYO sunshine though cos it's been Summer-In-June for the last fortnight, but packed its bags this morning, whaddya know?)
of course the instant we hit the beach the kiddos spread out into The Big Wide Open Spaces... but miraculously returned for
the two-days-early-cake-and-singing-birthday-candle,and delish brownie...
and a taste of this baby:

chill overnight, resist eating before lunchtime. pack in picnic basket and head out to the sands. i'm actually thinking it would've been divine with a skwidge of tarty greek yoghurt on the side of a china plate, but i only took paper napkins to the beach...
my beautiful peeps
we even got the sunshine

Is the other cake chocolate? I'm sitting here dribbling....
Oh lookit you guys, sitting outside in the sunshine! Cakes look divine... happiest of birthdays to you.
happy egg? *raises eyebrow*
Awww, I missed Deb's b'day...? She was hush, hush 'bout that huh? Maybe I'll pop up for a flying visit and take ya'll out for lunch...when my car is all better.
Happy weekend with your mummsy and daddy!
Happy, Happy Birthday for two days time!!!! Those cakes look yummy scrummy:-) Have been enjoying your 'kitchen muse'. Enjoy your celebration w/e.....Happy Birthday to the other girly in the gang, too!
I guess it probably is your birthday now - I'm not strong on time zones but I know you are ahead of me (in all ways!)
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Hope you get lots of gorgeous presents, loads of yummy food and a good shag! Ooops sorry I shouldn't say that, should I? This is not that kind of blog is it?
For The Record - the raspberry sour cream creation was *deee*-lish, I was even trying to make up the recipe in my head on the way home, but now I don't have to. Just noticed LouLou's coat in the photo - that chick needs to harden up, HA HA HA HA HA! We had cake and sunshine and company and some belly laughs to warm us up, that eskimo coat was well OTT! ;o) xoxoxoxo
And Hay, I'm holding you to that visit. When you win Lotto is probably a more apt statement - $2.12/litre! You'll need a small mortgage to get here and back, even when your car gets fixed. Love to you guys xoxoxo (is that bad blog-iqeutte? Chatting to your mates in the comment box?)
..... or even bad blog-iquette? xoxoxo
jen

steve

hay
you know, a hippyhappyegg, as in "free range hen", though i did think of you when typing "sour cream" and "egg". but i seriously think i might be able to reform your veganism with this recipe.
holding my breath for the RubyRaspberryWagon's appearance X
rosie
oh thank you, thank you! when i was looking for the Sour Cream Cake recipe i came across all those recipes that you laboriously handwrote for me all those years ago, with references to Tibbs' (was it Tibb or Tibbs who owned it?) House. and my Best School In The Country Memories came flooding in X
r.b.
rofl, you cheeky wench X
deb
ya big tease: i must be the worst blog-iquette-er in the whole of the world then, cos i even have to leave messages in comment boxes for other bloggers to check what i wrote back to them at so-and-so's blog etc X
deb
i didn't even notice your spell-iquette X
