Happy Birthday Dearie!
Child, Preschool, Special Moments May 21st, 2008This 10 inch cake was the biggest birthday cake Allan ever had in his 33 years on this planet. He was lucky. It was a misunderstanding between the person-in-charge and me. I wanted a 7 inch cake but the baker did a 10 inch. Unknowingly till yesterday at the point of collection, did we realize that none of us actually specified the size.
They suffered a loss, ‘cos I paid a 7 inch price for the made-to-order 10 inch cake. Ordered this cake online from LittleFootPastry. Tried it last year on my sister’s birthday, it was a gift from her boyfriend and I vowed to get it for Allan this year.
You see, Allan is also a cheese lover, in fact he is more cheese fanatic than I am. The cheese used in the cake smelled superb and simply perfect for people who love the creamy feeling when the cheese melts in the mouth.
I was intrigued the very first time I saw it. What I saw was a heart-felt presentation. The top of the cake was covered with spikes and colorful twinkle candy stars. It takes time and lots of patience to make the spikes.
The big surprise is in the interior. Cheese and chocolate sponge cake blocks stacking on top of each other. Its not difficult to imagine the amount of effort and work put in.
Food is often viewed as something that fills hunger. But when food is presented with the heart, it fills the soul. Three important criteria in cake making are all present here, OUTLOOK, SMELL and TASTE. I applaud them and hope they will maintain their standard in the test of time.
This was Allan’s birthday gift from his 3 year old son. Allan loved it so much; he created a folder just to safe-keep future drawings from his children in time to come. This is the VERY FIRST time Keatkeat drew something especially for his Papa. The man was gleaming with happiness even an idiot could tell…
Happy Birthday Dearie!

Kevin, you need not wait till next year…go order from the site now…*wink* (not getting any commission, just in case that was on your mind)
Blessed Mum, that’s the very first question I asked him too! He said, it is a good monster who wants to come and celebrate Papa’s birthday with us. Children’s imaginary world…love it, don’t you?
