I had the best birthday week and it ended with a bang!
Last Friday, Kristen and Anthony took me out to dinner. We went to Tangra in Queens. It was a fusion of Indian and Asian. The ambiance was a little strange, but definitely unforgettable. I couldn’t tell if I was in a museum, a palace, or a grandmother’s house.
Kristen also surprised me with a strawberry cake!
It was beautiful and personalized!
It even had three-layers!
It was also amazingly tasty!
The cake was a sweet ending to my birthday week, but the way the cake was presented to me was really the icing of the whole week!
**Imagine being in conversation–slightly tired from a long work week–and all of a sudden hearing the background noise stop and switch to a loud-techno-Indian-beat. The waiter brought me my three-layered cake with an enormous candle and an entourage of people singing behind him. That was only the beginning! Once he lit the candle; the flame burst up like a firework, opened up into a flower, and started spinning and playing “happy birthday.”**
Kristen took some amazing photos and they really captured the moment (and my surprise!)
It was really hilarious and I couldn’t stop laughing–we also couldn’t get the flower to stop singing–until the waiter disconnected the wire.
Thank you both very much for an unforgettable birthday!
