Today’s the day I show off Anaïs’ completed birthday cake. However, it looks even less geometric than it did yesterday. Look.

A lot of you guessed what the carcass I showed yesterday was going to be. Becky knew because her mum had made her a similar cake when she became eight.
Today’s been a bit full on, with lunch at a pizza restaurant down at the port with Anaïs’ wider family. No time to think about geometry. So I’ll just include a couple of somewaht geometric shots taken at our table, outside-yet-inside on this balmy January day. I hope I get away with it.


you definitely get away with it – and I adore her cake. Who knew that a cake design from the 1970s/80s would still be going strong today!

You haven’t seen me in my ball gown! Hard to pack, so I didn’t bring it to BofA. (And if you believe any of that your head zips up the back 😉.)
