I've celebrated another birthday!
I just turned 71, and here's the birthday cake I made for myself. It's in the shape of a five-pointed star, and it's covered with purple edible glitter, adorned with little star-shaped silver candies and purple lightning bolts (pre-made candy painted with purple edible metallic paint). There are seven small silver candles for 70 years, and a large glittery numeral 1 candle for the 71st year - and the glitter exactly matches the cake.
The cake inside is rich chocolate, and the icing is peppermint (purple peppermint buttercream!) - when I was a kid, I would always ask for a chocolate cake with peppermint frosting for my birthday, but I haven't had that combination recently. It's just as delicious as I remember!
