A Birthday Cake and a birthday mouse

A Birthday Cake and a birthday mouse

• 18 Oct 2010

The 4 days I spent in Brisbane were wet, wet, wet. I didn't want to go outside but the cat did. She wasn't very happy about the inclement weather so spent the weekend either sulking or sleeping. She was so grumpy that I renamed her Grumplestiltskin.

Whilst the cat was sleeping I baked an almond cake for Mum's birthday cake. The cake is our family celebration cake and I've made it many times before - I think it's featured on my blog 2 or 3 times already. Yes you did count correctly - the cake has 8 eggs in it. I had to return to Sydney before the cake was cut but Mum assured me that it tasted fine.

I left Birthday Mouse sitting on top of the cake tin, where Mum found him on her birthday.

Birthday Mouse told me that someone may or may not have had a slice of cake for their dinner one night last week. I won't tell you who that was because that would be telling.

See you all again later in the week,
