Monday, December 6

We celebrated my birthday last weekend

In keeping with my love of white, my husband surprised me with white roses and a homemade coconut cake.
He made it from a mix, but still! And he covered it with canned cream cheese frosting and topped it with coconut, yummmmmm! :O)
I just knew that I had to whip this into a table scape, complete with balloons and snow flake candles. I even used my fancy, free, tea cups from Freecycle.
He said he was inspired by watching a cooking show. I guess not all T.V. is bad!!!! :O)



And then we all had delicious humongous pieces of cake and coffee.......
What sweet surprise!

    Happy Birthday to you! And what a great husband!! I LOVE the white roses, they are a favorite of mine. For some reason, at this time of year, my white roses are blooming all over the place. I plan on cutting some and bringing them "inside" tomorrow. Hope your birthday was grand!

    Take care, Sue

    Not only did he surprise you with a wonderful cake and roses, he really made the effort to choose the element of white because he knew that you liked it. I'm impressed! Thank you for sharing your lovely party design. Cherry Kay
