A Family Birthday

When people in our family have a birthday, they get to choose whatever they like for dinner.

Today's birthday boy chose home-made sausage rolls with tomato sauce, nachos and a three-layer rainbow birthday cake - not a bad effort for this mama on a work day (although I do finish at 3).  He also took cupcakes to school for his entire class of 28 children - my daughter made the cakes and I decorated them.

The birthday cake's layers are chocolate, vanilla and pink, although you can't tell that from the outside.  The cake is a light sponge and the cream whipped with a little vanilla but no extra sugar.

This sort of food is true kid birthday fare: completely un-nutritious but really rather nice occasionally.

That's a great birthday menu and a lovely cake too. I used to make cupcakes for my kids school classes on their birthday too. Everyone gets equal that way.
