I'm going to Estrella! For a weekend. (Now that we live in California, that's not a completely insane proposition.)

That weekend happens to be my birthday. Therefore, I should make (vote for one in comments):

1. Chocolate cupcakes. Birthdays mean chocolate, cupcakes mean sharing.
   
2. Excellent small cakes. It's not an SCA event without currant shortbread.
   
3. A more elaborate medieval dessert: maybe lots of ginger wafers, fool, a late-period cookie I haven't played with before, a fancy dried-fruit tart . . .
   
4. Lime bars. I have fifty limes on the dining-room table; I shouldn't be allowed to cook with other fruit.
   
5. You will demonstrate a medieval dessert that uses vast quantities of citrus.

Yay Estrella! I kind of wish I were going. Hope the weather is such that the site is fit for human habitation this year.

I vote for #4 because limes are happiness! I think I've seen Renaissance recipes for lemon curd, so it's not that far off, right?
