Alex was so sweet on my birthday, and since I’m one of those people who don’t like cake (are you, too?), he brought out a piece of stinky Spanish cheese with a candle. It made me burst out laughing and was such an awesome treat. Thanks again, Alexei!
i burst out laughing when I saw this (linked from your post on Alex’s party, which looked fabulous!!)– my kiddo just turned 2 this week, and rejected his special “birfday cuh-cake” in favor of a hunk of “birfday cheese!” Great minds think alike.
Birthday cheese instance of a cake is a really good idea, I do not care if my mom give a cheese in my next B-day
hey there.. love your blog!
would love to know where you get your non-shiny tights.. xo
You are definitely one of the few people I’ve heard also say that they’re not fans of cake! the cheese is so cute :)
Happy, happy belated birthday!! :) I think it’s genius – having cheese instead of cake!! (Wish I *didn’t* love cake so much – ha ha!)
congrats! keep up the good work/this is a great presentation.
i don’t like cake, either. glad to know i’m not the only one! that cheese looks yummy.
happy belated birthday!
:)
Happy Birthday!
I’m a big fan of your blog from Japan.
Your blog is full of love and I feel so warm reading your posts.
Arigato gozaimasu. (thank you)
I think Birthday Cheese is a great idea for a gift.
Do you say Cheese when you make people smile? We do in Japan.
Big smile for birthday is a very good match.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Rie
PS..I don’t like cake with any kind of cream on. Cheese cake is my favorite!
Yum! Too cute!
Happy Belated Birthday!
Genius! I’m borrowing this idea for a cheese-loving friend’s birthday tonight!

OooOOOOoo i’m one of those people!!!
I’ve never met another!
My best friend made me a Tim Tam tower cake once, it was amazing!
The cheese idea is fantastic though! A wheel of brie would do me perfectly :)

soooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeet :_D
YES!! i’m with you, stinky cheese wins, EVERY time.

I love cake as much as the next person, but I think I usually choose cheese, given the choice.
My boyfriend got me a pound of fontina cheese for our six-month anniversary. True story.
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday! cheese is way better than cake and this is really cute
Yummy Yummy!

One of our own is looking for an anniversary dress, but she's stumped.
Including pearl rings and a ubiquitous sneaker brand.
A month before my cookbook was due, I realized something.
I was eight years old when I started asking questions about my dad.
