Birthday cake among friends

Woo hoo! It’s my favorite day of the year. The day I celebrate being alive ... any day you’re above the grass is a good day, as they say. I love birthdays, even if they’re not mine, as evidenced by the 52 weeks of the Main Street Birthday Club.

To take my mind off the mostly gray, cool, drizzly weather of late, my thoughts turned to birthday cake. While I rarely eat cake, it’s really necessary to have something to stick a birthday candle in. As a child, I most often requested marble cake with chocolate fudge frosting for my birthday cake; later in my youth, it was Sara Lee cheesecake or Boston cream pie.
