Birthday Memories

38 years later, I still remember the cake my mother made for me for my 5th birthday!  It had two tiers, was covered in pink marshmallow icing, with little marshmallow bunnies cavorting on top.  I marched my friends through our kitchen to gawk at it when it was done, and I was so proud that I had a mom who could make something like that, instead of the store-bought cakes my friends got for their birthdays!  My friends were pretty envious of my having a mom like that, too.
