Cake 20 - part one...what's inside?

A surprise package arrived in the post today. What could it be? Pepper is curious, and has noticed that the sender's name on the label looks very familiar!

The box contained this: cake, stars and a card (and two newspapers from Qatar)

The card inside revealed that this is Dennis' Aunty Jenny's recipe.

Yay! A very special fruitcake...a birthday cake which is fantastically timed for Christmas.

We miss our neighbours, and this cake will be savoured and enjoyed for many weeks.

Cake 19 - in Adelaide

October 30th.

Thank you to our wonderful niece Imogen for creating this delicious chocolate cake, topped with Lindt Choc Mint balls. Very nice touch.

We enjoyed Paul's cake with Catherine, Oliver, Pheobe and Imogen - thank you. xx

Our weekend in Adelaide celebrated more than just one '50'. First the cake for Paul, and then a short drive north to Gawler to our friend Abby's for her 50th birthday.

A great weekend with friends and family.

Special knife to cut the cake

Cake 18

October 18: Thank you to Nuala and Joe who visited for the weekend and surprised us with this delicious chocolate and fruit tart. Very yum.

Cake 17 - 17, 17, 17 and a 17th

17th October - with special thanks to 17 year old Seb who decided it was appropriate to bake the 17th cake.

Seb pointed out that this cake also involved losing a 17th of the tip of his finger. (sharp knife!)

No doubt this is why this chocolate cake tasted extra delicious.
