When a typhoon hits your birthday

September 16th is my husband’s lunar birthday.

It coincides with Typhoon Mangkhut.

Several days in advance, I ordered a birthday cake for him and found a variety of cakes for my husband to choose from. This kind of cake is not a surprise. Just wanting to buy something you like to eat is the key.

On the evening of the 15th, the cake shop owner told me that in this weather, she would get up after five o'clock to make cakes and try to deliver the cakes as early as possible.

On my birthday, the typhoon was getting closer and closer. At seven o'clock, I received a WeChat message from the cake shop owner, saying that due to the weather, we were a little far away and could not deliver cakes.

I understand. After all, in this kind of weather, the three-prevention warning text message tells everyone not to go out. I was still worried about what to do if something happened on the road while running errands. The cake shop returned the advance payment to me and also added a small red envelope of 0.88 yuan.

I got up and looked in the refrigerator. There are eggs and cake flour, so I simply took out the baking tools I had stored up before. The 6-inch Qifeng mold has never been used. Because I read a lot of reviews about the kitchen. They say chiffon cake is a crazy cake. I was so scared that I hid the mold for more than a year.

Today, muster up the courage and follow the step-by-step instructions in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, it was "basically" successful!

I found a birthday candle I had bought for more than a year, and when I put it in, it looked like the same thing.

Before my husband came to blow out the candles, my son had already grabbed a large piece with his bare hands and stuffed it into his mouth!

This is my husband’s third birthday after our marriage.

Also the most special birthday cake! My first cake made by myself!
