Happy birthday to David. Who probably tries to hide from pictures about as much as I do. I’m sorry you had to work on your birthday. I hope you enjoyed what time you did have at home with us. I am not sorry, however, that I am blogging about you. I warned you that I would use this picture against you. Secretly, I think you like it. Don’t you? Yeah, I’m pretty certain you do.
Last year I was either feeling sick or busy at work, memory fails. Either way, I didn’t get around to making him a cake like I promised. Then I promised to ‘owe’ him one. So uh, yeah, a year later I got around to it. This is seriously my favorite cake to make. I can’t say much for my decorating prowess, I’ll just call it ‘rustic’. I think I have blogged about this cake before. All the details down to the icing can be found over at Posie Gets Cozy. If you never make the cake, at least make the frosting. It’s like crack. Seriously. I starved myself all day so I could eat a square of lasagna and a huge piece of cake. I ate one ww point all day to save for this cake. ONE point!! The cake slice (1/8 of the cake) ended up being 23 points and so worth every penny. I can’t tell you how good this frosting is without drooling and looking like a raving lunatic.
Bella couldn’t keep her hands out of it. She would have ate all the strawberries had I let her. I’ve made this cake 5-6 times now and used strawberries each time, creature of habit. They weren’t very sweet so I chopped them and tossed with a bit of honey before piling them on top.
There’s still some in the fridge. It’s taking an unprecedented amount of willpower to not attack it.
