It's been 30 whole years and I've never had a FAVORITE birthday cake. I offered equal opportunity to Yellow Cake with Caramel Icing, Italian Cream Cake, Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Coffee Ice Cream Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. I'm now 31 and I have a favorite cake, thanks to my friend from church named Kate.
Tuxedo Cake is the best cake I've ever put in my mouth. Check the link---it even beats the Chocolate Cake with layer of Cheesecake for my mom's 60th birthday. For those of you in Birmingham, Turtle Cake Bites are a close second :).
Mark had class Thursday evening so I had Rachel, Laura, Michelle and Kate come celebrate with me. We enjoyed cheesecake, chocolate toffee bites and a game of Blokus. That was my present from Mark and it's so fun. Friday night Pamela & John had us over for a delicious meal of Shrimp Scampi and mean game of Blokus. It was fun to be with a friend who has known me for over a decade. Saturday night we went to the Haber's and were joined by the Kreise's for a great meal, my (now) favorite cake, and a spontaneous play with knights and princesses by the six of the seven kids (Alice was asleep upstairs by then). I feel like we're reaching a stage where friendships are really starting to grow here in Maryland. It took so much longer in other cities I've lived in and I'm so grateful for the blessing that accompanied our move.
On a slightly different subject, Mama needs prayer. Her dormant tumors showed a little growth this month so the doctors are changing her medication. Please pray it's without side affects and works like a charm, like her last medication did for over a year.
