Longtime Wanstead resident and prolific tweeter @Lornamedia tweeted about her birthday cake on Thursday, and got more than 40,000 likes as a result. The tweet – a thing of beauty – is self explanatory. The reactions to it were equally beautiful.
(Lorna’s mother Glenda died from ovarian cancer in July shortly after having been to the doctor with a suspected kidney infection. Lorna’s JustGiving page in Glenda’s memory is raising funds for the Eve Appeal which supports research into five gynaecological cancers. Donations can be made here.)
That is the most beautiful tweet ever. Thanks for sharing it with me Stephanie. My sincerest condolences to you & your Dad, Lorna.
I lost my Mum in June so I know the road you are travelling.
Love to you both x— The Reluctant Foodie (@ReluctantF00die) September 27, 2018

I’m sure my mum is in heaven and wondering how she made me 44 cakes without a blink of an eye and dad’s first birthday cake attempt goes viral. 🤣😘💕
