Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When the Australians visit we celebrate everyone's birthday during the visit, and each celebrant chooses their birthday cake. Katherine Wilson sent this recipe and asked if I would make it for her as she had eaten it at a friend's and loved it. Naturally I said yes! It really is excellent and worth the effort: the bonus was Katherine's grin!
