Not a traditional birthday cake but we don't do traditional in this house

I’ve always admired your culinary expertise. You make it look so effortless.

This reminds me a bit of my grandfather's 80th birthday cake. Well you just try putting 80 candles on a cake, any cake. So Mum put a 75w light bulb in the middle and 5 candles around the edge. Grandpa didn't know whether to be amused or offended. And he was easily offended.

That's genius. I feel like after 21 it doesn't really matter.

The kid got a candle stuck in a macaron and a speedy happy birthday song in the middle of Brunetti's. Her friends loved it.
