Birthdays are a reminder of how quickly time passes, especially when changing decades. It's wonderful, though, with good friends to celebrate with. @jyokota baked the chocolate chip cookies for me, and we shared the German pancake for lunch. Another friend sent me flowers in the shape of a cake topped by a rose and candles, while friends in our condo building had us over the next night and knew I loved chocolate -- thus the rich flourless torte. Not a bad way to close out the year! A diet is clearly next on my agenda.
@777margo LOL! Well, still eating the cookies, though had more than I should have today. And there's one slide of the torte that our friends sent home with me. But yes, devoured the pancake half! Good thing I've started working out with a trainer...
A delightful and delicious birthday indeed! Looks so yummy I'm glad I don't have any chocolate in the house or I'd be finishing it off right now. Happy Birthday!!
You lucky girl! What a fantastic set of treats. I love that 'flower' cake. Just gorgeous and a beautiful collage to show it all to us. Happy happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, I have been out of touch for a week since I was sick, but I sounds as though you had a delightful birthday. With all that yummy food how could you not.
A belated happy birthday! Lucky you, to have attentive friends with whom to share the day - although this looks like a personal trainer is a good second act. :)
Happy Belated Birthday, Taffy. They all look amazing. I found a chocolate chip cookie recipe online that I love and made for Christmas for family and precious made it for my sons 34th birthday on Dec 9. It has been a long time since I baked anything. My counter looked like your photo.
