Chocolate layer cake, chocolate cream cheese frosting with rum flavoring and sprinkles are featured in today’s birthday-by-proxy for my daughter in London.

My daughter has taken several pages out of my book, the most recent of which are going to London for an advanced degree and deciding to shave a number of years off her actual age when asked. I did that for quite awhile until deciding about a year ago that it really doesn’t matter, for me. Anyway, I’m not going to say that she’s decided 10 years younger is the lie of choice because that would make me ancient when she arrived under my new, more accurate math.
