Well enjoy it, the cake looks very tasty, I would love to have a piece of it right now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jim. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNice. What kind of cake is this? Vanilla maybe?
ReplyDeleteA birthday in the same month as Christmas could bring a calorie overload, but that is why there is such a thing as New Year's resolutions.
ReplyDeleteThey are plentiful in my house too! Both of my sisters were born in December and my best friend David was born in December. Cake and ice cream all around! Happy Birthday Jim!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun: husband, grand-daughter, and twin siblings. I've learned not to wrap birthday gifts in Christmas paper, too!!
DeleteSmart move on the wrapping paper. My sister Judy was born on Christmas Day and we always had a totally separate celebration later in the day for her birthday.
Deletethat looks yummy! happy birthday to him and calories to you both!
ReplyDeleteLots of December birthdays in your family. Lots of reasons for birthday cakes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jim!
ReplyDeleteSharon forgot my son Brian's birthday and my granddaughter, Madison's birthday, also both in December.
The cake is talking in a loud voice to my sweet tooth. Happy birthday, Jim!
ReplyDeleteLooks very tempting, Kate!
ReplyDeleteGood lesson to learn Kate!!! It's hard having a birthday close to Christmas!!! (mine's coming up!)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you'll do it - I've already overdosed on sweets and it's only the 4th!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Jim & many happy returns. Enjoy some of that cake for me. It looks irresistible!
That looks like heaven.
ReplyDeleteWith a treat that good, I might have to have two birthdays a year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jim!
ReplyDeleteRemained a little bit of cake for me?
