Happy Birthday Tim

Today Tim is celebrating his 50th Birthday! I say "celebrating" because it keeps on happening! Its 10 pm and as I write this, someone is at the door delivering some Birthday cards to him! He has also been getting phone calls from the U.S. tonight with well wishes!

I baked a cake to take to school and also ordered a Schwarzwaldkirschtorte(Black Forest cake) from our local baker which was delivered to school this morning. Herr Niehues has baked for many occasions at BFA and is well known and loved in our community.

This cake has a story.....Herr Niehues made a similar cake early this morning with "Happy Birthday, Tim" written on top. He wanted to make it extra special for Tim because it was his 50th! However, on his way to deliver it to our school, he had to brake suddenly and well....you know the rest of the story. Tim's Birthday cake "went everywhere" and made a very big mess in his van! He quickly went back to his bakery and whipped together another cake in probably 10 minutes(he claims he can put together a Black Forest cake in 1.5 minutes!) So this is cake # 2 which was also very beautiful and tasted delicious!
