Ah, the Memories...

First of all, I am so sorry that this is so late, but I've been a little busy lately. Saturday was my birthday party and it was really great. It really brought back memories of old birthday parties with the same (or slightly same at least) family. This is what I choose as my childhood memories post, my birthday party because of my birthday cake. While we had to get two cakes because they were so many people, the first was a traditional (at least for my family) Chinese birthday cake. I doubt it really is traditional elsewhere, but that's ok with me. My Yeh-Yeh (grandpa) and I went to the Chonese bakery to get it and it was called a "Fruit Basket Cake." It was a sponge-cake like cake that wasn't so cakey because I don't really like straight cake with whipped cream (nit your normal type, it's hard to explain) and fruit pieces in the whipped cream which was a layer in the middle of the cake. On the top, there was all sorts of gorgeous fruit, strawberries and peaches and kiwi. My aunt used to eat the fruit off the top of the cake years ago, we still tease her about it. The outside of the cake is wrapped with a sort of other cake, same taste as the normal cake, but it is red and white stripped. This is most likely for decoration. So that's the cake! I will add pictures sometime soon, I'm on the road so this is difficult to post. I'm on a cross country roadtrip! Yay! WIm traveling with my grandma (she's awesome).
