So dear hubby just had his birthday this week.

I sort-of made his birthday cake. I have not really baked a cake before so this is the first. I am kind-a oven-challenged. I made cookies way back. They turned out edible but they didn’t look right and the cookies were really hard. So I’m not too excited about baking. However, with the help of Lori and Rachel, and Betty Crocker cake mix and ready made frosting, the birthday cake came out nice and really tasty. With a few decorations, also courtesy of Lori and Rachel, the cake turned out even special.

The finished cake.

For candles, I was looking for number 4 but all I can find are a number-2 candle from Matthew’s birthday and letter-candles that spelled ‘MERRY XMAS’. And I thought, the letter candles were perfect! I think, for dear hubby, it has come to a point when birthdays are not about the age anymore but the celebration of the person and his life. The number candle would be insignificant, so I used the letter candles and spelled a description of the man I married

From the letters from ‘MERRY XMAS’, guess what I came up with. And of course, hubby is more than amused by this as I am.Since dear hubby worked late that day, we had our little celebration at late night. He let Matthew do all the work from blowing his candles (more like drooling on the cake) and opening his gifts. Dear hubby was just so delighted watching Matthew. He thinks Matthew will have an even more enjoyable time this coming Christmas with the gifts.
