Birthday cake baked by mi

23^rd of December a very pleasant day in the month of December; two days to the most magnificent celebration in a child’s life – Christmas is the best celebration for children. Today the 23^rd, is my Boss man’s birthday.  

He usually say “Those born on this day were created with so much intelligence” and I believe him because he is just the best. I love this day too, because his birthday kind of ushers the merriment of the season.  It is not a mistake that the greatest man that ever-lived on earth was born on December 25.

This is a period of extreme happiness, enjoyment and sharing.  So I will be sharing with you the things I prepared for this special day. I would be availing the recipe on my next post.

Enjoy!!!

A friend of mine that came around, asked how I manage to do these; my answer was, I just love cooking and I manage my time so well. God also blessed me with a man that doesn’t eat out, its kind of a motivational factor.  

I will be baking tuna fish pie tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be blogging soon for recipes.

Thank you for visiting.

Stay blessed and happy Xmas in advance.
