Five candles, a swirl of cream, glossy red cherries and a gingham edge: this is the birthday cake from a storybook kitchen. The painting has the feel of a page from a grandmother’s recipe book, and the red script of the name matches the cherries exactly.
It suits almost anyone who likes a proper cake more than a fancy one: a sister, an aunt, a best friend, a colleague who bakes. Write any name under the heading and send it from your phone while the candles are still lit.
If you need words: “Happy birthday! I hope your day is as sweet as this cake and twice as big.” Or simply: “Make a wish, blow out the candles, and let the rest of us bring the cake.”
