Gavin’s birthday was yesterday and he was quite insistent that he did not want a birthday party.
That was fine, we invited Mike, Jenny and Paul over for Cake (not a birthday party, no themes, no hats, no singing).
I made a pineapple upside down cake, it actually turned out pretty well. I used marzipan instead of ground almonds and cut the sugar a little bit. I creamed the marzipan in with the butter and sugar. We also sent everyone home with a massive slab of cake.
I didn’t get any pictures of the not-party, but I did get a nice picture of the cake. We had fun, we played Apples to Apples for about 2 hours. Gavin won with 28 cards, I had 27 and Mike had 27. Paul managed 18, Jenny was somewhere in-between. We had a great time, and we’re looking forward to getting together again soon.
