He was a Type 1 diabetic who stuck to a rigid diet and never ate cake but my Dad,
Allan John Curry, loved marking the occasion of his birthday each year with a Birthday Cake. He was even more impressed when the cake was accompanied by a party with his extended family.

Today, June 23, would have been Dad's 99th birthday. Now that
Mum is in heaven with him I hope they are partying today.
This made me think of my grandma, she used to have a drawstring bag of chocolate eclair lollies in her kitchen cupboard and it was a big treat to get a glass of Coke and a chocolate eclair when we visited her. They were her treats for herself which she shared with us.
