Dr Tanya is asking us for five traditional celebration foods this week.
After a month’s absence, 5things Tuesday returns today with a fun topic. Today we’re asked to list five of our favourite celebration foods. 
Cake, cake, cake, cake and cake!
This week is a celebratory week as a friend was 80 on Sunday, it was our wedding anniversary yesterday, and my birthday tomorrow.
Dr T asked for traditional food though, so if I think of Christmas, we have
turkey, stuffing, Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies and CAKE!
When I catered for my parents Coral Wedding Anniversary, I concentrated on finger food and Mum’s favourite of prawn vol au vents, sausage rolls, quiche, a selection of sandwiches (including boiled eggs) and CAKE….. I made it and my boss iced it for me.
Last year, I bought a selection of cakes and went round the estate with a tray to celebrate.
This year I’ve bought a birthday cake and will take pieces round to our friends.
I was going to make a cheesecake again but this week has seen us do nothing but eat the wrong stuff so I held off.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
Cake, cake, cake, cake and cake!

I am sensing a theme! 🧁💜🍰💛🎂
I just love cake……………
Happy Birthday Di! 🙂
Thanks Ruth. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Oh! What a week, Happy Birthday for tomorrow 💜💜💜
Milestone tomorrow.
Eeeeeek, not as old as me !!
Officially a pensioner………. long time coming a I’ve had to wait an extra 6 years!
I know they keep moving the goalposts 💜💜💜💜
I was supposed to get it at 60, then they changed it to 65, then 66 which is where I’m at.
In 2007 when I unofficially retired, I had the required 35 years NI contributions, but they have since moved those goalposts (into the next field) and don’t count the two years from 16 to 18, so I am only entitled to a reduced pension. No matter. It’s extra to our income and will relieve the pressure of the cost of living crisis.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday! 🙂
Thanks Barbara
Happy Anniversary and Birthday lots to celebrate!

Thanks Cheryl. The diet is on holiday.
I love cheesecake. But can’t have gluten and dairy now. Miss it.
What a shame.
Happy birthday Di.
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Happy Birthday and many more!! Do you like cake?? (hehe) I wish I could invite you over for a piece of my deluxe pineapple pecan cake – it could change your life!!
Oooohhhhhhh. Sounds yummy. I love cake and have bought a large one to celebrate.
Some weeks are like that. In my family December has lots of birthdays and anniversaries so we have a lot of cake too.
I personally don’t need to be celebrating to have cake . I love it so much. Alas, like most humans I have to watch my weight.
What are your favourite cakes though, or have we done that already for 5thinhs.
BTW , I love Quiche too.
I love quiche, but Hubby doesn’t. Cake though and we’re both tucking in. I like carrot cake, coffee and walnut, any gateau or anything with cream frosting. I think you have done cake though.
Oooh. I love carrot cake so much I even want it on my birthday.
I haven’t made one for ages and found the recipe that uses oil rather than margarine was lighter. Typically I can’t find it now!!
