While I like fresh cherries, cherry anything else is my least favourite flavour. The cake was chocolate, and the perfect ending to the barbecued rib eye steak dinner. :)Carol J.

I can't help but wonder how the steaks were and what kind of cake it was. Did you read Joy's answer above about Cherry Chip and Cherry Frosting?

I know January 11th is a good date for birthdays as my hubby shares it. <br /><br />One of my own favourite birthdays was just a couple years ago. My hubby and I were holidaying at our remote lakeside cabin when we heard a vehicle. Since it's a private road and waaaay off the beaten track, we couldn't imagine who would be out there except perhaps someone from a fairly distant ranch. But the vehicle turned out to be our son's truck. He had driven for over four hours, the last hour on an almost impassable logging road, and brought a cooler containing steaks for supper, flowers and a birthday cake. It was probably the best surprise party I've ever had.Carol J.

And the cakes, what a riot. I hope someone reads this that lives close to you and makes you a cake just like that for the sake of memories. :)So glad you like the blog, I love the stories.

It was the very first B-day gift they ever gave me to unwrap. We had a very large family, were quite poor in material possessions but rich in love and although we each got our favorite (homemade) cake for our b-day and got to choose the main meal for the closest Sunday to our b-day - we did NOT receive wrapped presents. It was a very special gift and I've never forgotten it. I also got my driver's license the same day. ;)<br />One year after being married for five years I received five b-day cakes from different friends and our foster daughter arranged to have one made by a neighbor so it'd be a surprise - they were ALL CHERRY CHIP with CHERRY frosting. Still have a difficult time looking at Cherry frosting. ;D I might add - I'd never gotten ONE b-day cake in our married life before or since.

They gave him Depends, a cane, Metamucil. When I turned 40, my friends gave me gift certificates to Kohls and a surprise party. I don't know if that was the best ever birthday, but it wins by comparison.<br /><br />Happy Birthday!<br /><br />Ann_Lee_Miller[at]msn[dot]com<br />AnnLeeMiller.comAnn Lee Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442708411342470888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-419581460445520362012-01-14T20:52:02.391-05:002012-01-14T20:52:02.391-05:00one of the worst gifts i ever received was this pu...one of the worst gifts i ever received was this pumpkin-like glass pitcher with a spigot. i mean, i didn't even know what it was for, honestly, but then someone said it was for lemonade and tea, etc. it was huge and ugly, so i regifted it! yikes! :)Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017797725839412504.post-32685620315274015082012-01-12T16:55:29.926-05:002012-01-12T16:55:29.926-05:00Did your hubby throw that surprise party for you, ...Did your hubby throw that surprise party for you, Rosslyn?
