I baked a cake for Matt's birthday. It was a hummingbird cake- with banana, pineapple, and pecans; as well as vanilla cream cheese frosting. A couple of years ago there was a cake failure (dry!) and so I was concerned that might have happened again. So I made a practice cake and took it to work. It was quickly eaten up.
So on Saturday I got up early and made another one. And then I went over to the old fort where the 150th anniversary celebration took place. John, Doug, Paul, and David came by for the two tours that I did. People enjoyed hearing me tell about the archaeology and history of the place.
I ran home and did some last minute cleaning and prepping. Then Matt showed up. He opened his presents (two books on A-frames). A few people stopped by and we had pizza, salad, potato chips and onion dip. And then Matt blew out his candles. The cake was delicious. It was a good day.
