Lavender and lace Birthday cake

Lavender and lace Birthday cake

This cake is for my Mum who’s 84 today.

She lives with me now, and has done for about three and a half years.
She’s a little fuzzy around the edges these days as she and all of us learn to live with Alzheimer’s but she still loves a bit of fruit cake!!
So at Christmas I always make an extra cake and freeze it till June so she can have a slice or two during her Birthday week in June.

And as all shades of purple are her favourite colours, it’s easy to choose the colour scheme each Summer.
HAPPY 84TH BIRTHDAY MUM xx
Love you lots x

Thanks Anka x It’s nice to do something plain and simple for a change.
I’ve done a lot of detailed cakes lately, so it’s nice to do something you can get finished in a reasonable length of time x

Such a pretty cake. Living and caring for a loved one with Alzheimers’s is challenging. I took care of many when I was a psw. Bless you Karen…

Thank you Ladies xx
You must be very patient June, I’ve learned to slow down and listen but not to expect too much. Having said that, I’m constantly surprised at the clarity of her past memory which has been enlightening. You don’t sit and listen to your parents so you never really know them. The good that’s come out of this is I now know what she was like when she was young. So she’s giving me good memories in amongst the sadness it brings too.
