Today is the 40th birthday of my sweet friend Sonja. Her husband Mike wanted me to make a cake for her -- grays and blacks and drab, with the words "Oh no, the big four-oh!" But I had to throw in some roses, so, of course, they're black. The lettering, leaves and trim are in gray with a hint of green.

And, of course, they put 40 big black candles on the cake -- complete with fire extinguisher nearby!

The cake is lemon poppyseed with raspberry filling, which was Sonja's request. It is two 9x13 layers stacked.

This was my first cake since the girls have been home. Esther is very interested in what I was doing, so I'll get her involved when I'm not making a cake for someone else.

(As a side note, Esther saw the "40" and said, "Oh, that's old." "Really?" I asked. "Is Mommy old?" "No," she said. So I told her that I'll be 40 at the end of this year. She laughed, ran outside, and yelled. "Yeah, that's old!" Turkey.)

Nice job, Jodie! And 40 is so NOT old. Seriously.
