Birthdays...

DB and myself recently celebrated our birthdays. We each received nice presents from a few friends and family and we both chose a present ourselves to be given on the appropriate days.

We are at the stage in life where we rarely need anything and certainly don't want anything as such. I chose anvil cutting secateurs and he some walking trousers.

I didn't get around to making a birthday cake for myself but decided to bake a victoria sponge for his birthday, using just one half and freezing the other for another day.

He didn't mind what flavour or style he had but requested sugar strands!

A vanilla sponge was duly made, topped with whipped cream, raspberries and said strands:




We ate it over 4 days also eating the leftover cream and raspberries yum!
