Today we celebrated a co-workers birthday, and I ran into a slight problem with the cake that I prepped for her. The plan involved a great fat-free rainbow cake recipe from Aleta at the Omnomicon Food Blog. (It's a funny post, and a great theme cake.) I played around with the shape for a bit of a Seussian look. The candles, I thought, spelled out "Happy Birthday". When I assembled everything this morning, well... a slight improvisation was necessary:
"Time" was the best I could come up with out of "Retirement"! February 26th is now official "Happy Time" day at work. :)
Here's a sample of what the tie-dyed cake looked like inside. The cupcakes were all different colors.

As a quick aside, thanks to friends, family and co-workers who have treated me like a queen in the past week for my birthday. (+ random Ravelry well-wishers as well!) From the fiber folks I loved the STR, spinning & natural dyeing books, crystal & pearl earrings, and great dinners out! To my family - what a treat to spend all day on Sunday with you!

Missed the occasion, dang! Happy birthday! Guess I wasn't on Ravelry at the right time. Hope you had as much fun as it sounds like!
Hey, look at all these posts! Making up for lost time, are we?
Happy Birthday to you!
I like the idea of Happy Time!
