For as long as I can remember, I have requested orange cake on my birthday. Why? Well, I certainly have always loved the flavor of "orange". Its sweet in its own way, but also balances sugar well. I love to eat an orange. Its funny that I developed and allergy to orange juice though. Yes, I can eat an orage, but can't drink orange juice, whether its from concentrate, or freshly sqeezed. As we said in toxicology class, "It's the dose, not the poison." What complements organge cake best? Buttercream frosting of course. Maybe because my birthday is midwinter, I have always craved the sweet fresh flavor of orange cake. Don't get me wrong, I love the other kinds of cake, but for my birthday, its orange cake all the way. I'm not really that picky, but Better Crocker makes the orange cake mix that I usually get at birthday time. I remember one year Laura going to about five different grocery stores before she was able to find the mix. Apparently nobody in Ann Arbor appreciated orange cake like I do. So step right up and share a virtual piece of orange cake with me today on my birthday.

Wow does that cake look gooooooood...happy birthday brother of mine and I hope you also haven't eaten up all that chocolate we gave you.
John, a new experiment for your birthday! Try a piece of chocolate and a piece of orange cake a day to keep the colds away. Glad you had a good day. Sandy
mmm...cake.
Happy Belated. We were definitely thinking about you on the day...and how I had forgotten to get the card out. Anyway, I hope you had a great one.
