My 51st birthday was yesterday ( Nov.22) and for it my husband baked me
a cake. Here he is prepping the cake pans for a carrot layer cake.
He devoted most of his Saturday to it. We grew the carrots, the flour is organic, the eggs are from his dad. It's healthier than most commercial health food.
Here he spreads the cream cheese icing for the inbetween section.
The icing on the cake.
Adding the ground pecans for the finishing touch.
The finished product.
Very, very yummy.
Yes, I am grateful.

Happy birthday cake!
I should make my birthday fruit cake soon, so it can age until January.

What a wonderful husband you have, Leah. Carrot cake is one of my favourites. I can imagine how divine it tastes. Happy Birthday!
You have much to be grateful for! That cake looks fabulous!
I, too, have much to be grateful for, not least of which is having you for a cousin!
Happy Birthday, cousin!
Ha! You roped me in with the header Birthday Porn. Anyway, Happy Birthday!
I wish you many happy returns of the day!
The cake looks delightful, my compliments to the baker.
Happy Birthday to you, Leah.. and many, many more. :)
That cake looks just wonderful. He's a keeper, that man.
It looks like he didn't skimp on that frosting! Mmm!!!
Solarity, thanks. I'm sure that'll be plenty of time to let the flavours gather.
Barbara, I sure do. The cake is magnificent. One of the best he's baked. I shall dedicate one of today's slices to you.
Aww, df Bag Lady. Thanks.
Thanks, David. I thought there'd be some interest generated.

Thanks, Hilary, and you bet he is.

Oh, now I drooled on the keyboard at home! :) It looks divine, hope you had a good day cousin!
Thanks, Reb. I did. And it is divine.
What a beautiful birthday cake! What a guy! Happy Birthday!
It was my birthday too - and my husband made me a chocolate cake with white frosting. My favorite.
Aren't we lucky?
Happy (Belated) Birthday, Nancy. Oh my Dogness yes we both are lucky.
I shouldn't check your blog before breakfast.
Clare, that's quite a compliment.
