Who bakes your birthday cake?

[TheKitchenWitch]

I've just put mine in the oven.
I think the last time someone made me a cake for my actual birthday was a friend about 10 years ago as we happened to be meeting up with the kids that day. I was so pleased, wasn't expecting it at all.

And MIL will bake a cake at the drop of a hat, so I've probably had cake off her too, although not on the actual date and it tends to be a bit random as to whether she's remembered it's my birthday or she just fancied baking cake.

My mum would bake me a cake if she were still alive and we happened to be together (I live abroad).

And so I am once again baking my own birthday cake for tomorrow, and it's made me a bit thoughtful and a bit nostalgic and, if I'm honest, a little bit sad too.

Asda, Costco or Millie’s cookies do on my behalf. Shame M & S have ruined theirs and they are so dry!

Nobody’s baked me a proper fully decorated birthday cake since I was a kid. My mother did bake me a very small roughly iced loaf cake on my 30th. It was very nice but it didn’t resemble a birthday cake. So you’re not alone op.

And happy birthday to you 🎁🎂🍰🍾

I do. My mum used to when I was a child, so nowadays I don't generally have one. I do go through phases of baking cakes though, followed by phases of salad...

SoyDora then a great big round of camembert, suitably decorated, with candles on top - actually that sounds fabulous and I might do that for myself next year! :D
