Monday is the day when Zoe tends to her vegetable garden and I make supper for everyone. When Martha was old enough to appreciate birthday celebrations I'd make a cake on the Monday closest to a birthday. It's lucky that none of our birthdays fall in the winter months as that's when Zoe takes a break from gardening.
Martha's birthday supper should have been two weeks ago but then they all got Covid-19 and had to isolate. Luckily Zoe was symptomless so could continue working. She can do her job from home so that wasn't a problem. Today was her first day back at the plot and Marthas delayed birthday celebration. She asked for enchiladas and Chocolate Guinness cake (Nigella recipe) and I obliged. No expense was spared with just one exception - I recycled the extra-long candles from Robin's cake. (Dougie's Goodies, delicious.)

Great tradition and would love a slice of that cake x
Traditionally, the person whose birthday it is gets to take the remainder of the cake home. This means if it is a Ballymena person's big day the Cully ones get just one slice. It's a good tradition.
Yes, very good tradition. I will look that cake up...maybe George will like it. They are lovely,.
I think George might love it!
