It is a girl!

Here you see the birthday girl, with the huge bouquet of flowers delivered by visiting family yesterday, the big Lindor bomb and the upper part of the birthday cake that did not collapse into itself. Yay for Grandma's idiot proof sponge recipe!



Actually, the mini cake turned out very delicious, with coffee-chocolate ganache and cream cheese-raspberry filling and chocolate icing. We had non-alcoholic peach champagne to lunch (I finally got around to make that stuffed chicken with the red cabbage), using Grandma's best china to celebrate the occasion. So, it was nice.

Other than that, I made another page for the baby book, so it was a very productive day.

Mum asked me to say thank you for all the birthday wishes. I actually dragged her in front of the computer to view them all. ;)

Awww, thanks, you are a jewel! She'll treasure it, don't doubt it for a moment!

Glad to hear your mother had a good day.
Look at that Lindor thing ... wow!

When I saw it in the Lindt shop I knew I had to buy it for Mum. The fact that it was on offer and the price reduced by 50% was an additional bonus.

Wonderful.

Thanks. I did the best I could under the circumstances.

The table looks very festive, your mum looks like she's enjoying being the star! You helped her have a very good day :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I hope so, yes. She enjoyed herself greatly.

Glad it all went well for her, and a very happy 90th birthday! The cake sounds like it went well (will read back to see what happened to the bottom bit.)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

The bottom bit simply fell to pieces. :(

90 years, and still such a pretty lady!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

She is, isn't she? :)

i'm a little late but send my warmest wishes of Happy Birthday to your Mum! She's such an elegant lady in that picture <3 And that cake description is making me hungry! It's also really great she had a little COVID-friendly visit!

Belated birthday wishes to your Mum! Her pictures are lovely, can't believe she turned 90, she does not look anywhere near that age. Sorry she could not have a big celebration with all the family, but at least, you are both healthy and able to celebrate in a small way.
