The weather was so wonderful we had breakfast in the garden made on the barbeque.
The family were here to celebrate with me and this is the cake...
it's a no bake cake made with pepparkakor, chocolate, raisins and for the first time ever, malt syrup which worked very well. Very rich, very good with coffee.
A first post for Vegan Mofo, no logos or links today, on the road with cats which is quite complicated enough for this overheated brain.

Happy Birthday and Happy MoFo'ing. I heard that the weather in the UK has been amazing, you timed that well.
:-)
Pepparkakor is like ginger bread? And malt syrup is something I've been looking to experiment with, so that's neat to see it used. The cake reminds me of katarzynki, Polish chocolate covered gingerbread cookies I had throughout my childhood, which I was recently surprised to find were accidentally vegan.
That cake looks delightful... I had never heard of pepparkakor before but it sounds delicious.
Nice kabobs too!
Happy Birthday!
Yay, happy birthday! Your cake looks great.

Hello everyone and thanks for the birthday wishes.
Pepparkakor are Swedish biscuits, thin, crisp and spicy with ginger and cinnamon. They are often vegan, I got some in Ikea but easy to make your own.
Hope to be stopping by at everyone's blog this Mofo but aren't there a lot this year!
