Today, we had "family stamping day" here at my house. My two aunties, their cousin, and my cousin all came over to make cards. We try to do this once a month, and we LOVE seeing each other so regularly! Today had the added bonus of being during the same week as Cynthia’s birthday, so my cousin Liz brought a fabulous lunch and this super-yummy toffee cake for dessert. Because Cynthia is now so very, very old, we had a lot of candles. They were sparkler candles, which means that as Liz and I were trying to light them (which took quite some time. as I have said, there were MANY MANY candles), they kept sending out sparks. It was Quite Exciting!
And, because they are so pretty:
Is that the infamous carmel cake from Gourmet magazine that everyone is talking about????
Happy birthday to Cynthia!!!!!!!!!
Yay Cynthia! Happy Birthday.
Looks like you guys had a great time. And, of course, the crazy Schley’s always have a good time when they get together. And by “crazy” I mean really fun and cool, of course. 😉
Oh my goodness! Liz made that cake for Aunt Cynthia?!?! What an honor! I wish I could have been there, too…. for all the fun, and the cake!
Whoa that is a ton of candles. I hear that there was some difficulty in putting them out as well.
