My Boy's Birthday

It's my ♥'s Birthday today and as usual I bake him a cake every year.  This year, for his 24th he requested a cake with chocolate, walnuts and caramel.  I had to substitute the walnuts for pecans because the biggest coop in our region was sold out...but I think it will taste better this way.  We had a lovely morning opening presents and eating a British breakfast in bed (eggs, beans, mini heart shaped french toast, bacon...) followed by a bath and a nap.  He's very happy to be off work this week. All my jogging and chocolate resistance this week will be on hold for today.  We are just about to make the most of these sun-rays and go have a drink by the Rhine at one of our favourite places, Veronica's.

 Look at all those Pecans! I roasted them myself

Too many cake photos, I'm sorry for the overdose

 On another note, we finally put up the poster of a Louisiana Tree which I printed in A3 while I worked at HP

 Ready for a cold drink

Lazy morning in bed was so cosy

I better be off, but the cake recipe is coming soon  :-) ,  have a spectacular day everyone !
