Long, long ago, Charlie had a birthday. He turned five! I have a cookbook filled with beautiful pictures of occasion cakes, and everyone gets to pick the cake they want me to make out of the book. Charlie had his cake picked out for a year -- it was chocolate with chocolate ganache with raspberries on top. Unfortunately, the picture was of a chocolate wedding cake, stacked five tiers high, and mom could not deliver. He got over his disappointment when he saw the tall candles and then ate about 2.5 bites of his ginormous cake. Eating is not really Charlie's strong point.
Charlie is my sweet, sweet boy, with the tenderest of hearts. I have never heard a sweeter voice and he has the temperament of an artist. Very sensitive. It is hard to watch him grow up. I love him so!
I re-read what I wrote to Charlie on his half-birthday (six months old) and I am so, so grateful for this space, and the time I devoted to it. What a precious memory.

Happy Birthday Charlie...wish I was there to share some of that cake with you :)
And Amy, I hope you're resting well for yours tomorrow!!
What an amazing cake. Your family is lucky to have such an amazing cook in the family.
Charlie -- what a big boy you are growing to be. Your mamma loves you so!
So neat to read this post and then flash back to his 6-month pictures. Especially since my Sam turns 4 months tomorrow--will he really be five someday???
I promise not to be disappointed if you show up with THAT cake on MY birthday!
