She looked like a doll. Sitting on the table. A blue dress with red cherries.
The blue coconut cake next to this baby girl. The mother holds the girl slightly with one arm, she keeps her from falling from the table. One year!
Knocks on the front door. Kids running into the house. Mums, young mothers. Excitation. Small gifts, birthday songs. Overwhelming. Coconut cake, your first piece of cake. What a crazy thing to understand, you wait a year for this nice layered cake. Quiet a happening! The baking was an exclusive process. I'll give you the recipe in the book. The cake is easy to make, but I can tell you, then back in good old Peking......it was just an adventure. My silly mind, my western attitude, my desire for an exotic cake .... it took me a week. Thanks to my friend Catherine we made it.
