Everybody join me in wishing our dear Schnookie a happy, happy birthday! We’re sure that you’re all out partying for her anyway! That is what all the parades are for today, right?
Here at stately IPB Manor we’re celebrating the happy day by enjoying cold drinks and the above cake thanks in large part to our fabulously awesome friends, Sarah and Paul, who on the spur of the moment, lent us a mini-fridge after our big one went on the fritz. Thanks, Sarah and Paul!


Happy Birthday, Schnookie! Your custard and berry filled cake looks awesome, and I do appreciate the view on my blog today thanks to your link!
Happy Birthday Schnookie! here’s to another year of being awesome as you are!
Yummy looking cake! Happy b-day, Schnookie!

Happy birthday Schnookie! Let’s go Ducks!
Well how appropriate that icing is wishing you a happy birthday. I would have got you something but I figure what could be better than Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals (well, perhaps different teams in the final, but I didn’t have the power to make that happen).
Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes! I shall certainly endeavor to keep up my awesomeness for at least another year, buoyed by this scrumptious cake and the lingering power of that beautiful song from HG! And icing, I appreciate your efforts to make this a better final — but we take what we can get, so yeah… GO DUCKS!
Mmmm….Cake. Mind if I stop by?
Happy birthday, Schnookie!
Happy birthday Schnookie! That cake looks completely delicious, I am super jealous – it certainly beats the store-bought one I just polished off the last of.
Thanks, Steph! The cake is as delicious as it looks — layers of vanilla genoise, pastry cream and fresh strawberries. It’s a perfect cake for the first summery weekend of the year in New Jersey!
Woo Hoo!!! Happy Birthday!!!
From the Great White North I bring you wishes of joy and happiness and hopefully many more cakes…at least ones that look that tempting ….who knew? strawberries and cake together… wow just wow. Good thing drool doesn’t show up on screen.
All kidding aside I hope this next year is everything you wish for it to be. I know mine has been made a little brighter from having been allowed to share in your passion for hockey. (even if you cheer for the wrong team)
Happy Birthday Schnookie!!!!
Happy birthday, Schnookie. Incidentally, should we also sing “How Old Are You Now?” or would that lead to ride on the Pain Train(tm)?
Bill, thanks a million! I’m going to go have a little happy cry now — you’re just too kind!
And John, my great-aunt, who was the wisest person I’ve ever met, always just said she was 19 when asked. Even when she was 90. So I’ll go with 19… give or take a lot! :-)
Happy birthday!
Awh I’m late…but happy birthday!!!
