LouLou was successfully feted on Sunday afternoon, with her friends and their families in attendance. A good time appeared to have been had by all, though I had to take a two-hour nap afterwards. I still can't believe she's six, though she's gotten so tall it really isn't too hard to believe.
I made a white spelt flour cake that turned out astonishingly well. Though it wasn't as poofy as a wheat cake, it wasn't at all gummy or thick. I altered a recipe from Joy of Cooking and I'm going to post it here in a sec and will come back and put the link in this entry. Basically it's a yellow cake I doctored up a little with some spices, orange rind and molasses. We frosted it with whipped cream and it really was pretty tasty. White spelt flour is the deal, I tell you. (Update: Here's the cake recipe.)
Lou cleaned up in the present department, as usual, the big hit being a musical jewelry box. There's always one present that makes you go "eeek!" and this year it was a pogo stick. Oh well, she has a bike helmet and we're insured...
