This is a Westphalian Cherry Cake.It's my birthday.
I'm fifty years old today and thoroughly proud of it.
I can take all that glorious life experience from my first 50 years and put it to good use during my second 50.
That is going to be fun.
And if you're wondering about my use of the word fabulous, let me assure you I mean that I fully intend to live a life that becomes the stuff of legend.
We're going out tonight so I insisted we start on the birthday cake last night. It's very tasty. I'll be insisting he bake something similar soon.

Happy Birthday! You're the same age as Madonna! Hm. Never mind.
Will you be sharing the recipe for that delicious-looking cake?
Happy Birthday cousin! If you're 50 this year and Sis was last year that means....No, can't be possible.
If we lived in Roman times, that would mean you have both gone to L!
(Sorry, I just read that joke and had to pass it along - good timing)
Erin, thanks so much. The cake is hard to resist. The bottom is cherry and the top looked like a fairly ordinary cake batter. There was some folding of egg white apparently.
Yes,Bunnygirl, and Michael Jackson,too... thanks.
