Birthday (166/365)

Ralph helped himself to the first piece of cake today - ice cream cake at that!  Woohoo!  It was yummy!

King Scone Fish (42/365)

It is nearing Carnival and Mardi Gras time and, as such, comes the tradition of King Cake.  In King Cake tradition, there is an item, typically a small baby figurine, baked into the cake.  The person who "finds" the figurine is crowned king/queen of the day (and has to bring the cake to the next week's celebration).

I didn't have a King Cake, but did make Ralph the baked in figurine of my (horrendous) first attempt at blackberry scones.  The scones might have tasted horrible, but isn't Ralph a cutie?

I may not be in New Orleans, but who says I can't celebrate, eh?
