Cake

Nauber's birthday was nice. Even vegetarian Mykael enjoyed the churrascaria meat buffet. He did not have meat, of course, but there were plenty of tasty other options - he particularly liked the kale, beets, and fried bananas. Then we came back to the house for cake. The cake was a gift from the Brazilian lady in Worc who makes all our party food for us all the time. Nauber's request was "fruit" and other than that she had complete freedom to be creative. The cake was very good, and I rather liked the extra dense (incorrectly leavened?) layer on the bottom, but it was not very fruity. Some coconut sprinkled on top, and a creamy layer in the middle that may have had some passionfruit in it, but zero chunks of chopped up fruit. Which is especially odd because they normally throw chopped strawberry in all their cakes just for fun. Cris had two cakes, a white cake with strawberries, and a chocolate cake that also had some strawberries in it. We were also an hour and half late doing the cake for Nauber because we had to wait for Ronny. He said it was Mykael's fault, though Maykael said it was Masam's fault. Who knows...

So, here's a (probably Brazilian) birthday suit!
