Eleanor's Birthday Cake

On Tuesday Eleanor celebrated her 17th birthday. Peter and Vivian had timed their visit so they could be here for it.

Alexandra did not make Eleanor's cake this year, what with the tiny temperamental oven and easy access to cakes we don't get in America. Eleanor's cake was made with puff pastry and chocolate custard and vanilla custard, sort of like a giant eclair.

Happy Birthday, Eleanor!
