Good Morning Darlings!
Although my birthday was in February, my dear friends over at Cake Hag have been trying to get my birthday cake to me.
I got it this weekend. The only stipulation? I had to guess what the cake was filled with.
Eric and I set about our task with glee. This is fun work. Maggie and Katie did divulge that under the chocolate shavings was a brown sugar frosting. Yum!
Here is the cake in it's entirety. With sides of champagne for good measure.
I almost hated cutting into it – it was so pretty. But, we must guess the filling. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!
Ready to taste.
Yum! Buttery cake with a filling that was part chocolate, part fruity? Hmmm…was it maraschino cherries? Figs?
No, it was a blood orange sangria marmalade with a chocolate ganache. A delicious and very grown-up version of the perfect birthday cake.
A million thanks to Maggie and Katie! I loved celebrating my birthday all over again!
xoxo, Patti
