How Would You Like Your Eggs?

Hard to know what to blip today as we were spoiled for choice. While he was unwrapping his presents, we heard a faint mewing at the door, and as if in a story, yes it was Shadow, returned from a week's absence (given up for dead) just in time to be with he who loves her most.

But - since this is a birthday blip, and me making a cake is such a rare event, and minerals played such an important role in proceedings, here it is .... Ta da! Inside was hidden a pyromorphite specimen from Broken Hill (somewhat saturated by liquid blue icing)

The title is an allusion to my sister's witticism about the cake, containing as it did, 9 eggs (or thereabouts). No-one noticed the egginess until I shared this piece of information.
