My Nephews Light the Candles on Their Mother's Birthday Cake

My Nephews Light the Candles on Their Mother's Birthday Cake, originally uploaded by confections.

My sister and her children have been visiting this past week. We started off with a surprise birthday party for her on Saturday when she arrived.

The cake was very special: medovnik (honey cake), a recipe from the Czech Republic, made by Tomasz of Jyoti Bihanga restaurant in San Diego. Sinfully delicious! Here is a recipe I found for medovnik, but have not tried myself yet.

Topping the cake were special "sparkler candles" from Toys 'R Us and mini-paper umbrellas from Daiso/Marukai.
