How to Have a Half Birthday Cake

Today is my half birthday. The 6 month mark. That is worth celebrating, right? I was thinking of baking myself a half birthday cake. But what exactly does that look like? Does it mean I bake a whole cake and toss out half or give away half? Or do I only bake half the recipe? But in a round cake pan so it looks like a whole cake? Or do I bake a cake in a cake pan that looks like half a round cake? DING DING DING!

My friend Jan sent me a link to this half-round cake pan. It's perfect for celebrating half birthdays! Let me know if you have a different interpretation of how to bake a half birthday cake. I'm very interested. Particularly because I love finding excuses to bake. Not that I need excuses...

I was thinking you can bake a whole cake but you're only allowed to eat 1/2 the cake on your 1/2 birthday. You have to share the rest with willing friends and family. (By the way, I love the pan!)

Oh, I have another idea - make one round cake. Cut in half, pile frosting on one half, and plop the other half on top. Frost all the way around -and voila, semicircle layer cake!

That pan is wild! Who knew there even was such a thing? I think you should have a regular size cake -- just freeze what you don't eat. Then, you have this wonderful treat to enjoy again a month later. ;)
