Completely satisfied Birthday to me!
Completely satisfied thirty second birthday to me! One other 12 months across the solar, and I’m out of the blue 32. I realised it’s been just a few years since I shared a ‘birthday cake’ on right here – my final one being my twenty ninth birthday cake, so I assumed I’d do one other.
I at all times bake myself a birthday cake as I like baking desserts – and simply because I often find yourself having enjoyable with these bakes. These weblog posts are just a few photographs, and a few hyperlinks so present you the way I did it.
Cake
I made a decision to do a lemon cake for the bottom cake of the recipe as I actually am within the lemon period of my life. I used a 500g mixture of cake combine, which cut up completely between the 2 cake moulds I used for the numbers.
You should use this recipe for my passionfruit martini cake, however typically it’s 500g of butter, sugar, flour, 9 eggs, after which the zest of three lemons to make up this sponge. I piped the combination into the moulds with some giant piping baggage to make it simpler and neater – they usually took 35-40 minutes to bake.

I made a decision to go for a swiss meringue buttercream as I like it a lot – it’s silky easy and heavenly to eat. I used 1.5x the quantity on this recipe, after which added 2tsp lemon extract. It’s extra of a course of to make the swiss meringue buttercream however it’s 100% value it I promise
I used a second closed star piping tip for the ornament in some giant piping baggage and put the frosting in the midst of the sponges and on prime.
Ornament
When adorning a cake, I do discover it simpler when the sponge is frozen or chilled. As a result of I wished to separate this cake I chilled the cake within the fridge earlier than taking it out of the mould, and likewise earlier than splitting the sponges into the layers fastidiously.
I used strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, mini meringues, macarons and naturally sprinkles. This half is only a enjoyable little bit of ornament, and the very best recommendation is don’t over assume it – simply have enjoyable with it.
The quantity cake
ENJOY!
