HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONSTANCE!!
Lots of love,
Mary and Roberts Not-Quite-Hitty xxxxxx
Thank you so much! Constance is my first and dearest doll…she is responsible for my continuing to carve and make things for the Hittys!
Happy Birthday Constance. Your cake looks delicious
The cake was based on a Madeira cake recipe and all agreed it was delicious (Constance was happy to share)!
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday! What a beautiful cake and the colours of the party. I loved them all. Thank you, Love, so much Love, nia
Thank you nia, Constance’s birthday always reminds me of my trip to Turkey when I whittled and carved and produced my first wooden doll. She was going to be called Lydia, after the ancient kingdom, but I finished her in Istanbul and so she wanted to be called after the old name for the city.
This is a beautiful life story, every time makes me excited. Who knows maybe one day you visit again İstanbul, I am sure you would surprise to see Today’s city. Welcome and Millon Thanks, Love, nia
Happy Birthday, Constance! Your cake is so beautifully decorated and it looks scrumptious! Enjoy your seventeen year! Love, Candi
Thanks! Constance has been a good companion for seventeen years – the cake was absolutely scrumptious! We always used to make an edible flower-decorated poppyseed cake for my mother-in-law (she shared Constance’s birthday). It is a good time of year for edible flowers!
Happy Birthday Constance and many more years of Hitty adventures to come. Beautiful cake.
Thanks! Constance’s birthday is special for all the Quimper Hittys – she is the one who got me started on the doll-carving journey and I am so pleased at where it has taken me!
How wonderful that Constance and you have been together for this length of time and we too have been grateful for her presence in our lives too. Enjoy the celebration together. Today is my beloved father’s birthday…he would have been 116 yrs old…it’s a lovely time of the year to have a birthday.
It certainly is a beautiful time of year to have a birthday! Constance and my mother-in-law both agreed on that, especially when the garden comes indoors, in bouquets and as the decoration on pretty cakes.
Happy Birthday, Constance and may you enjoy hundreds more! 🙂 It’s such a delight to share your adventures and those of your sisters and kindred spirits! ❤
Thank you so much, we love sharing our adventures with our good friends and kindred spirits!
Happy happy birthday Constance 🤍
I love Orange & Poppyseed cake too 🎂
Lots of love 🥰
We were very pleased with this recipe! It was a plain Madeira Cake recipe for a 5 inch cake tin, but with poppy seeds and orange zest added – mmmmm! We are lucky in the Northern hemisphere to have all the spring flowers available for decorating!
What a wonderful cake. She deserves it!
Thanks! The rose came out just in time…she does deserve it! A beautiful cake for my first and dearest Hitty doll!
The constant Constance 😊
what a lovely tribute to a lovely HItty!! She is such a dear! That cake looks scrumptious.
