You are cordially invited...

As in each year, I'm throwing a virtual birthday party, which starts today and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goal, as always, is to produce as many collapsing threads on as many pages as possible. You are welcome to joins, start threads, post pictures and participate on every discussion you want to.

To make the party more appealing, here are pics of the two cakes I baked for my real birthday party, which we had yesterday with a bunch of colleagues - a week too early because of school schedules.

Pineapple tart with vanilla pudding:



And a chocolate sponge cake, filled with whiskey-orange marmalade, which we bought in London about a century ago, and decorated with coconut shards:



So, I'm turning 61, soon, come and celebrate with me! Oh, and cake recipes and pictures totally count as threads, too.

I love your icon, it reminds me of one of my cats

Thank you. I have two cats. One very curmudgeonly tabby, who hates everyone but me, and a very sweet natured black cat.

My black cat is so sweet - he walked into the house about 3 years ago and adopted us, even with my other 3 were not happy but they settled down quickly.

Your black cat sounds adorable. The only reason tabby boss accepted the black cat is because he came in as a kitten for him to torment/care for. Even as an aged, scrawny old grump, he fights and threatens most cats who come into our yard. He accepts a tiny, black fluff who has been visiting for years; she sits on the chairs on the front porch with my black kitty. And our neighbour has a handsome British Blue who is semi-tolerated as long as he doesn't try to enter our house.

I have an old grump myself - except she doesn't even like kittens - my black was about 5 - 6 months old when he claimed us, and she was the last to accept him.
