This week started off with a joint birthday party for S and two of her best buddies, who all turn two this month. My goodness, where did those two years go?
S requested an orange cake for her birthday, so we made this gluten free one and decorated it with orange segments. It didn't look as good as the recipe I took it from, since my oven blackens everything on top, but it received lots of compliments for its taste. And I was glad to stay away from white flour and food colouring.
