Better late than never....

Today I finally got the birthday dessert that I didn't get last week.  My favorite yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  

The Squab & his friend wanted to cook something, but didn't know what.  So I handed them the box mix & can of frosting that I bought for myself but never had a chance to make & said "have at it."  I informed them that I had intended to make cupcakes, but if they wanted to go full cake it was fine with me.

The following pics (are terribly blurry) are the "cake" that they made me.  The Squab decorated it himself & the Chicken joined him in singing to me.  

***I asked them to sing one of our favorite songs that I used to sing to them all the time.  It's a non-traditional standard that some of you may not be familiar with.  It starts like this..."Comet, will make your mouth turn green..."  It tickled me so that they did it willingly, without hesitation or protest.  I love them so.***

When the Squab said he'd make cupcakes & little cakes, this is not what I pictured.

When they finished singing, I was told to blow the candle out quickly as it was melting the cake.

I insisted that the Squab cut a piece for everyone. He was happy to oblige.

I have to say, this was one of the best birthday cakes I've ever had.  Not just because there were no leftovers (because you can't count the cupcakes), but because I know it was made with lots of love & laughter.  Sorry I couldn't share it with you, I know you would have loved it.

Aloha hugs until next time,
