Blowing out the candles

It was Mr Murmuration's birthday tea today (his birthday's tomorrow) and so I rustled up a birthday cake.
What's that I hear you say? 'You should be on the Great British Bake Off, Mrs Murmuration?' Hush now, I wouldn't want to show Mary Berry up; I'm nice like that.
Mr M got a new camera lens for his birthday hence the photographer on the cake.

Should you ever meet him he will claim to be younger than me, a fact I will deny until my dying day...
