Rhiannon reached the ripe old age of 26 yesterday, and I've just worked out that in three years time she will be half my age!
Rhiannon and Tom together in August
While Rhiannon partied with her friends, we were invited to a delicious supper with our friends John and Maureen, back in the UK for the winter. We celebrated Rhiannon's birthday, at a distance, with glass or two of sparkles. Tom, in Boulder, raised a glass of Keystone Light.
Rhiannon will be visiting us later so I've baked a cake, which hasn't quite turned out as planned ...
A large hole in the centre … which I filled with lemon curd … then remembered that it is Tom, not Rhiannon, who would kill for lemon curd!! Just where is Tom when you need him to eat a cake?
So I decided to cover the lemon curd with chocolate, which didn't really work either...
Then vanilla frosting …
If the chocolate ever hardens it will be covered with frosting as well.
In future it might be better to commission a virtual cake from Jean at Baking in Franglais ...
