How this got started

This year I turned 50!!!!
My birthday fell on a Wednesday, the actual day of the week I was born 50 years ago. (There is probably a algorithm for that out there and someone is saying, "Of course fifty years later your birthday was on the actual day of your birth!" but I found it a fun fact!) Because I didn't want to bake my own cake we had a very good bakery cake. On a following Sunday, I decided to bake for my family "my" birthday cake...the birthday cake my Mother had made for me every year when I was young. Well, my kids loved it and couldn't believe you could actually make a cake and icing without a box! So I decided that I would make a "Birthday Cake" every Sunday for 50 weeks to commemorate my birthday and bake some great cakes for my family. This is a record of that endeavor...I hope you enjoy as much as we have!!
One note of warning I will on occasion used boxed cake mixes for the cakes!
