Samba Shunet

March 17 was my birthday and fortunately I have dear, dear friends who know how to make someones day! Here is my homemade cake made of Samba bars and honey. It is a replica of the Shunet el Zebib. They slaved glueing the samba bars (Egyptian wafer cookies;don't ask what is in them) together for who knows how long. The Samba Shunet currently resides in our room. Unfortunately ants got to it, but no worries, they were dealt with! It now sits in our window, wrapped in plastic. It needs reconstruction. Obama the cat nibbled on some of the walls.... My birthday was perfect.

I love these ladies and could not ask for better friends...
