Simmer is two?! And now you’re taking it into the mad redesign laboratory? OK, but Simmer doesn’t need to do fancy pageant walking to impress, y’know. Just keep the funny and the smart and the recipes coming! xoxo

A belated happy bloggy birthday to you! Hope that there’s always something cooking in the kitchen for many more years to come.

My favourite cake is anything topped with a cream cheese frosting. Yummm.

Well I was going to say Happy Birthday STD, because I’m too lazy to type, but thing something didn’t sound right and it hit me, what STD stands for. Scratch that…Happy Birthday Simmer Till Done, you gorgeous 2 year-old, you. Your keeper is a keeper.

Favorite cake? They’re all my favorites, except Angel food, and truth be told, Angel food cake isn’t really cake at all. It’s just sugar and egg whites with a wheeze of flour. Of course, if you toast it, maybe cover it with a berry compote and lime curd, well, then it might, just maybe, qualify as a cake.

Congrats, Marilyn, on two years of warming hearts and minds and stimulating palates.

Happy birthday!! Wishing you (and us your readers) many more years of wonderful posts, delicious food and great pictures! I prefer anything with chocolate, so those cupcakes look right up my alley…

Very best, Patricia

Happy Birthday! I’m a pretty new reader – I actually pretty much arrived on your birthday. But my favorite birthday cake is one my mom made for me nearly every year: it’s basically just a chocolate cake but on top she puts little chocolate leaves. She coats the glossy side of (clean) leaves with melted chocolate and then peels the chocolate off. Chocolate Leaf Cake. It’s my favorite!

Happy, happy blog birthday and congrats on your accomplishments as you move forward into year three! Hummingbird cakes are my favorites to make for birthdays, but for some reason, my kids seem to prefer those nifty iPod cakes I made one year. You know the type—the ones you end up wishing you had never made because they were big pains in the rear and now they get requested all the time? It figures those (timing consuming puppies) would be the cakes most requested! Oh well, what’s a mom to do? Answer: make more iPod cakes

Sadly we don’t have any traditional cakes here… but my dear hubby loves to read foodgawker, so we do get a little more adventurous from time to time. My all time best birthday cake for me is angelfood cake, strawberries and whipped cream – Mom always made that for me, as I didn’t care so much for the box cake and frosting – my angelfood cake still continues today.. However, that is usually out of a box, as well.
