The Imperfect wife

I had to look up what Kahlua was - as it has rum in it, I'm inviting myself over, Sheila. Happy Birthday, OH!

How could they justify £40 for a carrot cake?!!

Well done Sheila - home baking is always the best - happy birthday wishes to your OH.

I think the title of this photo should be 'The Perfect Wife' - I'm sure it tastes much nicer than a shop one. I love the decoration :)
Happy birthday to husband for tomorrow !

Ange, thanks, and you’re welcome to come over any time 🙂.

Shirley - many thanks. Yes, crazy price, and the price for one slice was £3.99! Steve used to bake little cakes for his colleagues every week and sold them for about 50p each - he was very popular lol, and all the money went to the local children’s hospice … over £1,000 eventually.

Hywel … lovely comments, thank you 🙂🙂.

Wishing your OH a very happy birthday! Your cake is worth a great deal because it has love in it, which a shop cake can't really have can it?

Lovely comments Klahanie and Sue … thank you both. xx

Sounds delicious happy birthday OH :-)

Sheila, Steve certainly did well with his cake sales! Bless him . . . :o))

Many thanks Daylily, Paul and Shirley 🙂.

Well done Sheila, a lovely thought. By the way I much prefer coffee cake to carrot cake!!
Happy birthday to your husband.

Looks scrummy! Happy Birthday to your OH.

Thank you Chris and Josee … we are just having a portion right now (9.00pm Wednesday) and OH has just said that it is “very nice”! 🙂🙂

perfect. I hope he appreciated your efforts. I love home baking, so much better and usually no additives. They never last long enough to go stale of 'off'.

I agree Eileen, thanks. My stand by cake is Shirley’s apricot cake, but I sometimes buy gluten-free brownies from Waitrose because they’re delicious.

Belated Happy Birthday to the OH....£40 for a Carrot Cake? That's rediculous!
I always prefer something someone has made/grown as a present rather than something bought...so much more personal I feel.
Your cake sounds totally yummy! I bet the OH thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you Julia … we are enjoying a portion every evening … luckily it lasts very well 🙂.

So sorry for coming in late Sheila, I hope hubby enjoyed his birthday, and I'm sure he loves your coffee cake. I love anything coffee flavoured, and soaked in alcohol..wow, heaven..haha!
Your Steve sounded lovely, kind and generous Sheila, and so well loved...x

Thanks Janey, yes the cake is scrumptious (and easy!).

Bless you … our boy Steve was pretty special … a friend to anyone who needed a friend, and a great pal to me 🙂. x

Apologies from me, Sheila! I do hope he enjoyed a lovely birthday! Your cake looks so pretty and of course, I’m pretty sure it was delicious too! Much better than shop bought - lots of love has gone in to baking it x

Thanks Kate, you’re so right … home baked shows the love! (and I’m enjoying it too 🙂).

Your cake is baked with lots of love and will taste much nicer than a bought one. Have a lovely Birthday time together. x

Thank you kindly Linda.
