Lilac Chic
I share my passion for baking with my daughters and when it’s time to make a birthday cake for one of us we don’t miss out on the chance to make something special which for us means a three or four tier cake. This doesn’t imply that the rest of the family is happy about it! In fact they’re perfectly aware of the consequences of the three of us working together for a few days and the chance or maybe the certainty that there won’t be anything but cake ingredients in the kitchen until the cake’s ready! We, especially me I must say, kind of forget there’s an outer world and sound like tuned in to a one music station, so, in a way, I do understand their point of view...
First we decide on decoration and then choose the cake, usually a different type of cake for each tier. It’s not easy to find something we all like, I do have my favourite cake which I always propose.. I must admit.... but very often when it’s not my birthday cake I have to give in... and accept their ideas. The atmosphere gets tense from time to time especially when it comes to assembling and decorating the cake!
This cake here's the one for my younger daughter’s 18th birthday and it was only me and her to make it since my older daughter had no time to help. It was a big job but in the end we made it and it was good!
Song: Birthday
It doesn't matter whose birthday it is, let's celebrate together!
