Somehow I MISSED this entry. Happy 40th! It really IS fabulous. It's the age where you drop all pretense of being Martha Stewart (or Dara Torres, or whoever you think you wanted to be). It's also the age where you get bifocals.

My favorite part was the cocktail. Or maybe the lamb kabobs. No. The cocktail.

Enjoy you cake from Coldstone next year!

I don't understand how this cake is not a huge success. And also why it's set on a pottery spinner type thing.

All I have to say is happy birthday. I wish I could comment on the cake, but I am busy trying really hard not to laugh at it.

Honey, give me enough notice and I will fly down there and make you proper cake. That was hysterically tragic.

Sorely in need of a laugh this morning, I have thoroughly enjoyed this post. And when I got to: "This looks nothing like the cookbook photo, which makes no sense
since SG followed the directions almost exactly." I actually hooted out loud. Not any little emoticon LOL but a real honest-to-goodness belly laugh. Thank you for that.

And HAPPY HAPPY Birthday!!

Hope your birthday turned out better than that cake. Bet it was still delicious though!

Beautiful. When I saw your cake, I immediately laughed in relief. It's not just me, then.

PS I forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Nothing says "welcome to the other side of youth" like a sewage cake : )

Happy birthday!

I cannot imagine how a cake would turn out that fugly after a cocktail, an entire bottle of Shiraz, and God knows how many "samples" of Kahlua. What kind of stupid cookbooks are you buying anyway?

The good thing about cakes like yours is that you don't even have to bother slicing them. Just sit down with a big spoon and that whole cake in front of you.

I hope this means you are off your South Beach Diet. I'm turning 40 in August and I intend to get as fat as I possibly can until then. Wish me luck!!

Sorry to admit that I actually laughed out loud at your first cake pic. Poor poor cake. Happy birthday though!

But you know what? Ugly cake trumps no cake. My bday is Weds and I know I'm not getting a cake at all; even an ugle one (I'm the only baker in the family and I have a work event until after 7pm).

That is one sad cake.

I hope there will be Kahlua-soaked crumbles in my near future!

and Happy Birthday!

and thanks for illustrating so poignantly why I don't bake.

Still looks pretty good and it's chocolate! Besides whose cakes actually turn out like the one in the pictures?!?!

Damn, girl. That is a LOT of effort. Besides, you aren't supposed to cook your own birthday cake.

Happy Birthday!
