September's Bliss

This is my birthday cake, I made It myself. It's a very simple chocolate cake inspired by a recipe of Cyril Lignac. I just cut It in the middle, put some mascarpone inside of It and on the top of It. And I had fun to decorate It with some macarons and rapsberries, cute and simple, the kind of cake I love to make !

I had some black chocolate in my kitchen so I decided to make some mendiants with It. It's very quick and simple to do and you can put everything you want on them : nuts, dried fruits, pistachios... I put praline roses, dried fruits and nuts on mine. I just melted some chocolate, and with a spoon I did some circles, and added some pralines roses, nuts and dried fruits and I put It in the fridge for 30 minutes and It's ready to eat !

This is my birthday cake, I wanted a simple cake because I lack of time and concentrate on doing a pretty autumn decorations. I picked up some leaves ans pine cones in the garden and here It is ! This is just a chocolate cake with some philadelphia frosting but I liked to do It.

This is a quite beautiful cake considering the few minutes I needed to do It. Though It's finally just cake decorating, It might be a good idea when some friends are coming for tea and you didn't have the time to prepare anything. Well, you just have to buy a simple cake, mine was a "cake breton", typically French, I cut It to make 3 layers and I melted Cream cheese, crusted "Biscuits roses" but you can also use crusted oreos, rose sirup to put between the layers. I put the rest of the cream on the top of the cake and decorated It with roses. And here It Is : a 5 minutes layer cake !
