Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren invite you
Eighty years of stories, cake recipes and good advice. Come and celebrate our grandma Hildegard with us – with coffee and cake in the garden, just the way she likes it.
Until coffee and cake
Today is the day.
Don't tell
How many candles?
Scratch with your finger
Eighty – and still the best baker in the family.
Make a wish
Grandma's birthday cake
Or tap the flames one by one.
All our love on your eightieth, Grandma!
