Happy Birthday and thanks for all the cake!
We celebrated a birthday on Saturday. The husband's.
I baked him a cake which, I dramatically whisked out at midnight and asked him to cut. The vain man refused. On grounds that it was too beautiful a cake and he wanted to make sure all his equally vain friends saw it, before he proceeded to mutilate the lovely frosting and icing on top.
But how come on my birthday, I am dragged out of bed at midnight and made to cut the cake without friends seeing it? I questioned him immediately. Well, he doesn't bake my birthday cake himself so there's nothing to show off. I accepted it.
The next day, as friends poured in, they were offered everything to eat and drink. Not the cake. Finally when someone asked about birthday cake, I again produced the piece of art from the fridge. As people oohhed and aahhed I realized it was indeed a good ploy to cut the cake and have it then. And I smiled at my smart hubby as he paused for breath blowing a zillion candles.
Age had definitely brought in much needed wisdom.

Hi,
that was a delicious post :-) and reminded me of a novel i read once named 'Eat Cake' (i dont remember the author).
nice blog u've got, and loved the post below as well.
sometimes they do the most thoughtful things when you least expect them to-
I was refering to your baking the cake.:)
so the hubby wants to show off wifey's talents more than enjoy the cake! :)
Amitken: Thank you. The book "Eat Cake" is by Jeanne Ray.
shub: I don't eat cake to spare my poor tummy from looking hideous and bloated. Did you find your recipe?
alpha: Thank you, thank you. I do the nice unexpected so often, that it's getting to be expected! Got to turn nasty to be appreciated.
gratisgab: He's a big show off specially when it comes to my cooking and baking! Also helped that he too doesn't eat cake.
Thanx for the visit...and cool post!
Oww... Happy Belated b'day to ur hubby! That sure was a very sweet gesture.. I used to make 'egg-less' cakes in India too... I think for like 2 years, I made the cake for every b'day in the family (and we have a joint-family!) :D
Ow..it was fun!! I want to get back to baking soon... *Sigh* if only I can get out of the crazy schedule!
I am sure you had a great time.. by the way have I missed your birthday.. ? :(
aradhita: Thank you.
nupur: If you plan to come to Bombay I would gladly let you bake eggless cakes. Hubs is allergic to eggs and I can't bake without.
pallavi: No, you wished me in November I think. :)
Here's wishing ur hubby a very Happy albeit belated Happy Birthday:-)
