Photo of the Day: Cutting the Cake
As an long-time church mate, Talida has been very gracious in facilitating my transition to New York. As mentioned last week in the blog, she gave me a helpful suggestion on where to buy a cake for my boss (see
Day 47: The Cake), among other practical tips. Well, today is Talida's birthday, so her recommendation of
Financier Patisserie became doubly useful when our small group was looking to surprise her with a cake. Following the selection of her husband, Tim, I ordered a delicious creation made of pistachio mousse, chocolate ganache, and a macaroon crust. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her after our Bible study, but I'd forgotten plates and plasticware, so we resorted to using brown paper towels as our dishes.

| Ah, the familiar awkward smile as everyone sings "Happy Birthday" to you. I never know what to do when I'm in the seat of honor, so I understand the feeling. |

| Ken, ever the gentleman, offers to help cut the cake. |

| The Financier Patisserie cake doesn't look as delicious served on a generic paper tower, but trust me, it was heavenly. |

Haha, I missed this post! Thanks again for getting the cake, Josh. It was great, and I'm glad to have celebrated the day with the group :)
