Birthday with students




So.. Cici's birthday is two days before mine..... technically its two days before mine on both Calendars because she is just 2 days older than me. So this year... if you look at her birthday on the Lunar calendar and mine on the solar calendar... they are the same day :)

We decided to surprise Cici on her solar calendar birthday and have a parties in the two foreign teach only classes. So I made a cake for the class with all my students in it, and we bought one for the other class. Well screwed up weekend and the class with all my students in it got moved to Monday. But it turned out ok.

Making the cake here was kind of a pain (when I move to Dalian I am buying a mixer) but it tasted good! Its pretty ugly as well.

Not sure what else to right about it.... we took the cake to class...... in my laptop box! We had some trouble finding paper plates... if I would have thought about that enough in advance I would have got some from the big supermarket.... but ya.. we forgot. So we have paper cups and chopsticks!

Everyone really enjoyed it..... and we had a couple of questions about what frosting is... and the students kept asking Cici what it was in Chinese but she doesn't know.... Everyone here calls frosting 奶油 which is whipped cream..... because thats the only thing they use on cakes here.

All of the students thought the cake tasted really good.. but many of them said "... its so sweet!" ... thats the comments I always seem to get about the things I bake here... hehe.. . So it all turned out pretty well.... and now pictures............
