Well, no.
We actually gave up on birthday cakes. When the number of candles is so high that the cake collapses beneath their combined weight, it takes much of the pleasure out of eating it. Who wants a handful of crumbs?
Have you ever had to make yourself a birthday cake because no one else did?
Nope, can't say that I have.
Made myself a big birthday cookie one year it was good.
On my 16th birthday, I made one for myself but I don't really throw birthday parties (but only for two people I know) or anything like that. I don't even go to my friends' parties. I prefer the peace and quiet.
No, but I occasionally either buy or bake a cake for myself just because I like cake.
No, but I have made my own birthday cake because I wanted to.
No, I'm past the age of birthday cakes. I remember when I was younger and we'd forgotten a male friends birthday cake, so we stuck a white household candle in a pork pie.
Dear Roy Roy,
Well no, not yet but I am thinking about doing it this year...my birthday was last Friday, and Tiger and Didge collaboration came up with a wonderful birthday Q on Blurt.
Well the online cakes, flowers etc. looked SO good...actually I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks...you don't think it is too late, do you Roy Roy?
Anyway I am still pondering ideas...Cookie Roma talks about chocolate cake with strawberry preserves...that sounds SO nice, I may do that! (Someday...here...soon!) Meanwhile I am making apple cake today; sweet neighbor gifting apples from her tree...with whole wheat flour, sour cream, cinnamon...it's good...
(I will ask Otis for special birthday apple cinnamon 'shine)
love a homemade vanilla cake. With rainbowchip frotsting.
I would never go to all that trouble for my own birthday. If anything, I might treat myself to the Cheesecake Factory.
No. I am really not a cake eater. Interesting that your asked this question today. My mother-in-la did today. We took her out to dinner, but she wanted everyone to come over afterwards for cake. I stopped by to watch her blow out the candles, but I needed to get home and take care of my dogs. And to be fair I didn't make or get my one either thus year and her birthday was Saturday. I did manage to get her a cupcake. With Matthew and his aftermath, birthdays weren't high on my list.
When my son was really little, I would make a cake for us to celebrate my birthday together. When he was older, he and I would bake it together and we would have fun doing it. It was a good tradition to have between us.
Hi
Roy! Never in my life will I make myself a birthday cake! This doesn’t make
sense! If you have nobody to celebrate with, simply do not do anything! I do
not mind people remembering the date and making me a surprise or something, but
if no one is around, I will just get on with life!
No .. As an adult, I have never felt the need to celebrate my birthday like I felt the need as a child. I think that is something you kind of get over as you mature.
I don't particularily care to expect attention to myself or attention to the fact that everyone else doesn't specialize a day traditionally would cause focus to be on me. It just doesn't mean that much to me. I would far rather my presence on this earth being celebrated daily with general respect by my loved ones .. As I do with each and every one of them. I would prefer daily smiles .. Than cake once a year.
