There's always a need for cake. Always.

It just so happens that the two ladies I work with have birthdays that are a week apart. Having had little forewarning of their fast approaching birthdays, I decided for the first one, I would bake her some birthday brownies. These seemed to go down very well, and were greeted with glee. My other colleague just so happened to comment that there is something wonderful about getting a birthday cake, as when you get older, no-one tends to bother, meaning you end up birthday cake-less. This makes me sad. So I remedied that and made her some birthday cupcakes...
