I have fond memories of birthday celebrations at Grandma and Grandad's place before Aaron and I were married. Aaron's Grandma would always bring out a beautiful big angel food cake, covered in cream, and fresh strawberries.
I'd never heard of angel food cake before, and actually have never seen it anywhere else.
I suppose it's sort of a cross between a pavlova (It has about a dozen egg whites in it!) and a sponge cake.
I now have my very own angel food cake tin (you need a special tin to make it) and a copy of the recipe.
And I'm happily carrying the tradition on.
Happy birthday to my darling Aaron for last thursday!

We had ours with fresh whipped cream and blackberries. Delicious.
