Birthdays and Cakes

I’m not sure how I feel about birthdays.

When I was younger, I wasn’t particularly excited about it. I found that I often cried on my birthday…somehow.

This has somehow continued on some of my birthdays.  Just a few of them though. My 40th was the last one I cried. I cried so much I walked out of my own gathering to stop myself from crying anymore. This was a gathering I had arranged myself but I just had to bail on them… I think I will tell this story another time.

No matter how I feel about birthdays, since I became a baker, I’ve made sure to make a cake for myself on my birthday.

I’m showing some of these pieces off here just because…

The latest below is a butter cream heart shaped vanilla cake.

For my 40th I carried all of me in a 4 tier cake…coffee, music, books, movies, wine.

The big 40

For my 38th, it was my theme for the year “live, love, laugh”.

At 36, I went old school with a cassette tape.

For 35, I modeled my dream bake room.

I barely eat cake, but I love to speak in cake.

I’m passionate about cake and I want to keep being interested in it.

  4. I’m not an alien after all. I cry so much on my birthdays too. For me, I get hit by this sudden wave of sadness a few days before my Birthday and a couple of days after it. I miss your cakes, I should treat myself to a cake from your bakery this year.

      You are not an alien.. I totally understand what you mean.

      Let me know when you come for the cake so that I can put a face to the comment
