Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me, ooopps!!

Today is the 15th of January, a bit on the chilly side for Ft Lauderdale. I was surprised by a coworker bring me a birthday cake. It was quite a surprise, since my birthday is the 27th. The baker and I have been friends since I stated here over five years ago. She has actually been here for over 20 years.
It has a homemade strawberry cake and was VERY good. She also made a Key Lime pie since one of coworkers cannot eat strawberries. I had some of that too and it was just as good as the cake. The afternoon sugar rush was a welcome respite to the routine of work.
After my first year of work here, the same person made me another homemade cake. I had a subscription to a cooking magazine and would make the marshmallow frosting on the cover cake. After I had finished with the magazines I would lend them to whoever would want them and that is how I got the whole cake recipe of the cover. It too was very good.
Since I have a culinary degree, birthday cakes usually originate in my kitchen. So when I get to have the another's baking it is wonderful. I will have to bake around my birthday since there are two birthdays the same week as mine. One being my boss. So break out the Kitchenaid and preheat the oven
