It's my birthday!

And my mum and me have half made a chocolatey sponge cake - it is in the oven, and then needs to be sandwiched together with cherry jam. But here's the cake I had three years ago (for my 16th). Unfortunately not homemade.

I'm quite excited for the debut of Matt Smith as the new Doctor, although David Tennant will be missed.

EDIT: My mum just reminded me of the cake I had last year, for my 18th, made by my amazingly talented cake crafting friend, Lizzie. And it just has to be shared with the world.

And we ate this by the sea in Falmouth on the day of my interview,

as the icing melted in the sun.
