I mentioned that I had one of the prettiest cakes ever for my big 40! Well, here it is....
If you can believe it, it tasted better than it looked! I loaded up on some goodies too!
Okay, I am probably the only person that I know that does not mind aging, in exchange for gifts! I am also partial to the date, September 16th, I think that it sounds beautiful!
We had a great time in the mountains, with the exception of a bear scare, I will elaborate on soon! I am off to blog roam now, and bake. It is amazing how happy a new pan can make me!
What a wonderful cake, flowers and gifts!
Congratulations on your 40.th birthday!
I am sure you had a great day!
Lucky you!
I wished I have been 40! I am so much older, that I could have been your mother.....haha....
I am so glad to see you back on blog again, and hope you are doing well.
