Happy Birthday, My Darling Tom


Chocoholic Tom surprised me this year by selecting a Lemon Cake. That is not a photo of my cake but it represents fairly closely how it will look by this afternoon. Yellow cake layers, lemon curd filling (homemade ...), and Lemon Butter Icing. Mmmmm ... delicately tangy and springlike.

Happy Birthday to my dear and darling husband!

Wow. That picture make my mouth water just looking at it.

Congrats to you and your husband. (on his birthday... not the cake...)

Happy birthday, Tom!

Tante Leonie said...

Oh my!! The cake looks and sounds divine!

Do let us know how it turned out, and maybe give us the recipe?

Mack said...

Yum! Save me a big slice!

Patm said...

Made my mouth water, too. Now I need this cake. Damn you, Julie, master chef!

Marco de Puna said...

A very happy birthday Tom!

Yes, we really do need for you to share this recipe - lemon is the best!!!!!!

I, too, am a chocoholic who's found himself ordering lemon (and key lime) more often as I superannuate. I wonder if we've stumbled upon some profound chemical change associated with aging.

I think this calls for a fully funded study on dessert consumption. Duty calls. Will you volunteer with me, Tom?
