Life is a cakewalk


Some things in life are serious - not many, but some are. Take making cake. This is something that you'd better practice if you want to get it right. And mama knows that she had better get it right when the cake you are making is for my second birthday.


So a week ago mama asked Inès and I to roll up our sleeves and help her prefect her cake-making skills - not that they need improving. We were extremely useful, especially on the quality control front. This meant that mama was much less nervous when the big day finally arrived.

The setting was perfect. Abuelita's house on a beautiful Indian summer day. Cool, sunny, September day. The kind of day that calls for... cake!

We had a boiled shrimp fest and about as rich a cake as is legally allowed in these parts of the world.

I must admit that getting older doesn't really bother me like it does some people. I'm over that. You know, life is short. Can't take it too seriously. Unless, of course, you're talking cake.
