Clara made me a birthday trifle instead of a layer cake: chocolate cake, whipped cream, and raspberry jam, with fresh raspberries on top. It tasted just as good as it looks.
Happy Birthday Anna! What a lovely dessert - yum! We often hope a cake will 'flop' just so we can make trifle! So elegant and delicious! What a sweet cut glass bowl to put it in! I hope your day was filled with all the things that delight your heart! Blessings!
Happy "April" Birthday! Just for fun, I've kept an eye on your "About Me" profile to see when it's updated...I so enjoy visiting your blog and have been inspired in many ways. Thank you! Lyn
Happy belated birthday!! Trifles are so yummy. :) I think I have only commented a few times before, but I really enjoy your blog--it is a lovely place to visit, and I love the glimpses into your life. Giles' photography is amazing, too.
My baby girl just turned one yesterday (29th) so it has been a birthday weekend for us, too. So much fun!
Happy Birthday Anna. I turned 40 on the 27th of April. It is Autumn here in Australia. You have a Spring birthday and I have an Autumn one. My children are all little so I cooked my birthday dinner but it was still special. I can't wait until my daughters can cook for me.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

I would much prefer a trifle to a cake! It must have tasted divine, for it looks amazing! Happy Birthday!

I have to take time before leaving for church to wish you a belated happy birthday. Your prose...your son's pictures...make a lot of us smile.
I love the idea of the trifle. My late father-in-law always had a birthday pie. :)
Happy Birthday & Blessings, Anna! Don't you just LOVE having an April birthday?

Lovely! Hope it was a wonderful birthday!
Hi
I came to you via Little Jenny Wren who nominated you as one her favourite bloggers! Happy birthday! There is no greater food than trifle.
Happy Belated Birthday!
One year I made jeweled fruit tarts for my mother in laws birthday, since she does not like cake.
Sometimes the best things come from thinking outside the box. Good job Clara!
