more joel's birthday

ah a dirty knife - how many other families have a the dirty knife rule? You know, the one where if, when you cut the cake, the knife comes out dirty, that you have to kiss the nearest person? Maybe it's a surtees thing!

birthday boy with his two birthday cakes! Mine is the one that looks to be centre stage - it's a sticky pineapple cake and the easiest one to make (it's a one bowl wonder!). I got the recipe from either a woman's day or woman's weekly mag.
