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 !

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 !

I particularly loved the theme chosen by Melisssa, one of my lovely brides this year : the circus. I thought It would be a great theme too for a 2 years' little boy birthday party. Like Melissa, I created all the decorations in 2 colours : blue and red. I had a lot of fun creating the birthday cake with the circus and the animals on the top of It. I will never forget the smile on Charlie's face when he saw the lion, the clown and the elephant on his cake !

Melissa wanted the circus to be the theme of her reception with that slogan : "Life is a circus, love is forever". The reception took place in the very classy "Pavillon Dauphine" in Paris. Melissa designed everything herself, she really could become a wedding decorator ! The only thing she didn't make herself was the fantastic wedding cake which was beautifully made by Sugarplum Cakeshop (congratulations by the way!). The candy bar was full of American sweets and peanuts, all the things I love !

I made this cake for my birthday last week, I wanted a little Japanese touch on It so I made some little sakura flowers. I had so much pleasure doing that !
