It was birthday on the 22nd Feb...yes I am 21 (again). My friend's son also has a birthday on the same day-he turned 16; I remember those days. So naturally I made him a cake..
The cake I made was a 2 layer chocolate sponge cake filled and topped with white chocolate buttercream. I decorated it with white chocolate fingers (similar to Lorraine Pascale's "I can't believe you made that cake" cake) and topped it with a mixture of white and brown Malteasers...Here's the pic
It smelled so good, I was tempted to keep this for myself, but of course I didn't. It was much appreciated.
Even though I've been told it's bad luck to make your own birthday cake, since discovering that I can in fact bake, I cannot now buy a birthday cake from a baker or supermarket. Can't do it. So I made myself a small chocolate sandwich filled and topped with cream and melted chocolate. Yum...
Nice blog and lovely cakes! Nothing wrong with making your own cake. I make my own too - I bake cakes for a living, so couldn't buy one either.
