Photo du Jour - Birthday Cake!

Cake!

Earlier this week I asked my husband what he wanted for his birthday. His reply, "A real cake."
How could I say no?

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is my favorite kind of cake.

Your husband has a real special wife. Well done. I wish him many, many more birthdays with you.

Beautiful, Jennifer! I can't imagine a better birthday treat.

I'm cracking up at the first comment. She obviously doesn't live in France! Your cake makes me very nostalgic for a "real" homemade cake :)

In Paris, my husband (who loves France as I do) sometimes yearned for "regular" coffee, so I get it about the cake.

I can relate. I live in Spain and you can't get a real cake here either. Nor pie. A few years ago I special ordered a cake from the village bakery, was specific about what I wanted, and ended up with something close, but not quite...

Yum!
It was my birthday on Thursday but we celebrated Saturday and I requested a real cake as well - as opposed to the ice cream cake I got last year.

Delicious looking cake!

Your cake is beautiful and looks so delicious. That is the exact cake my husband would request for his birthday.

A real American birthday cake. :)

Alison
It is mine too. And even though it took a long time to make, it was worth every minute!

Jennifer said...

The perfect combination!

DJ

It was perfect, I agree!

I know...I thought the same thing!

P.J.
Those things that we grow up with, that we are familiar with, do give so much comfort

We've tried ordering "cakes" from local bakeries as well. While they are delicious in their own way, they just don't have the same flavor.

Murissa
Happy belated birthday! Happy to hear that you got the cake you wanted this year.

Jennifer said...

Thanks! It was a greatly appreciated cake. :)

Bruno
You're welcome, my sweet. Ti amo.

A much easier request! Maybe we could trade next year?
