My whole family (all five of us humans plus our golden retriever) had a summer birthday, so we went from cake to cake to cake.
There were ice cream cakes, failed homemade red-velvet cakes (we forgot the baking soda, hence the ice cream cake), make-up-for-it triple-layer-with-peach-filling by fancy decorator cakes, ridiculously good strawberry shortcake in New Jersey, chocolate cakes, carrot cakes, fruit-custard-tarts-masquerading-as-cakes cakes, and I suppose a cupcake or two for good measure.

But wait! My very favourite cake of all time was served some four decades ago. Purchased at Enterprise Bakery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island,this special cake marked Miss Antoinette (err--Miss C's) first birthday. And the photo (far above) is even all blue and pink pastel.

A good cup of Tim Hortons' coffee to top it off? What's that you say? *Who* bought Tim?

What we really need is the photo taken 10 minutes AFTER little you sat down with that cake:).
Ha ha! Now that would have been a party pic . . .
I want to know if you manage to eat all of that cake and still fit into your clothes by Labour Day?? Adorable baby photo.
Now I'm hungry. I can't believe our beloved timmies has been bought as a tax strategy (double double Irish? Har har)
Well, K.Line, a green smoothie or two may be on the menu this week ;-) . . .
Jen, I had my first ever cup of coffee at Tim's and I love the double-chocolate doughnuts!
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to all you summer babies from another such person... Cupcake Cafe made (makes? I don't even know if they are still around) THE BEST frosted cake ever. Beautiful and delicious buttercream, just enough, no massive blob on top of their cupcakes. And the cake itself: moist yet firm enough to hold together when you cut into it. Crumbs couldn't hold a candle to them.
