Wednesday night is small group night for me, and since tonight’s small group meeting happened to fall so close to my birthday, my friends decided to throw me a little birthday party. The Speichers made a lovely meal which included chicken alfredo, garlic bread, corn, and green beans. Since I was planning on making a cake anyway, I volunteered to make the birthday cake. I started the cake this afternoon after class was over, and everything looked pretty well at first. I remembered that I had a hand mixer in storage, so I pulled that out and it helped tremendously with the mixing of the ingredients. Now, I was originally going to do a sheet cake, but I decided to go with a two-layer cake instead. Unfortunately, the layers came out of the oven very un-flat, so when I put the top layer on during the icing process, the top layer split into three large chunks. I was very discouraged.
When I got to the Speichers’ house, however, things began picking up. I got to meet the new puppy. The dinner was very good. Andreas gave us all Euros, and taught us a polka. Plus, the cake, while not much to look at, was certainly quite moist and tasty. All-in-all, despite a rough start, my extended birthday turned out to be a lot of fun.
