Happy Belated Blogrthday



I was quite happily sitting in the bath last night, debit card in my mouth, flicking about on the internet, whilst repeating the mantra “Do. Not. Drop. iPhone. In. Bath”, and booking my best friend’s birthday surprise. 

Birthdays are cool.  Well, other peoples are.  I always book for me and the best friend to go and do something rather than buying her a present.  Memories are better, sometimes, than gifts.  We’ve been on the London Eye, been to the Ice Bar and this year, I have just found the perfect thing for us to do.  But it’s a secret. 


That’s when the word birthday stuck in my head.  I knew my blog’s birthday was in May and a couple of swift clicks confirmed that it was a May birth for my blog.  But May 1st?!?  Whoops…




So here is my big 1st birthday blog cake.  It looks pretty plain but looks can be deceiving…  Hold back the hair.  Make a wish.  Totally wish I could share this with all the awesome people I’ve met through food blogging. 



We took it to a BBQ and eight of us barely managed half of it.  Recipe to follow.
