Happy 60th birthday Chris, and many, many more birthdays to follow.
Sorry this is about an hour premature!

Your cake is a lemon drizzle, though it certainly doesn't look like one.

On a rectangular silver tray rests a circular cake, 12" in diameter, covered with smooth, satiny white icing. It is dished in the centre to suggest a plate, on which is arranged some slices of Bradenham ham and a few tomatoes cut to look like water lilies (all in sugar paste, of course.)

Around 3/4 of the rim of the "plate" there is a legend- THIS HAM MOSTLY EATABLE in dark chocolate piping. Round the side of the cake a 5-line stave is piped, with appropriate clef, key and time signatures and just 8 notes of a very distinctive melody. After these there is the musical rest sign.

(with due acknowledgement to aristo for the magnificent idea and anagram)

I hope you have a wonderful day, chrise, surrounded by love and laughter.

40 mins early... Happy Birthday Chris!

and also with some of your favourite RVW music.

Who would have thought that reach hippy birthdays is an anagram of Happy birthday ChrisE and thats is exactly what you are doing - Have a great day/weekend with affection T - PS enjoy Rosalinds cake

Have a great celebration ChrisE! Better 60 than 59 and 364 days - bus pass and concessions galore.

Your new friend,

Very happy birthday Chrise (capital letter in celebration) - one of the nicest guys on the forum. Have a great one. ps lemon drizzle's one of my faves........... but I haven't worked out the anagram :-(

Thanks very much to all. Busy day ahead - cooking etc. - and family arriving tonight for a "family weekend". Looking forward to it all.
(P.S. may not have much time to look at the forum today, but I'll make sure that I register my vote in Peer Review!)
P.P.S. the cake looks wonderful, rosalind.
