Cinco de Mayo Birthday

As I turned my calendar to May this morning, I remembered a birthday cake I made a few years ago for a lady who is lucky enough to share her day with that of Mexico’s commemoration of the cause of freedom and democracy, Cinco de Mayo.

Although I have no Mexican heritage (probably hard to believe with my ultra-fair, freckly skin and green eyes, I know), I have found that Cinco de Mayo is a fun day for Americans too.

Enjoy!
