Why I like my own birthday ....
My birthday has become an annual excuse for me to order a whole cake ... for myself (minus a couple slices)!
Last year unfortunately I was back home in Indonesia, but this year I get to have my favorite cake again. And lots of it ...
I ordered the Spring Bouquet from Jin Patisserie in Venice, who always does a really nice job decorating it also. This cake is made with mango and strawberries and cream, with layers of meringue. Some people are shocked that I don't get a chocolate cake for my birthday, but this cake is just that awesome!
I ate half of it myself :">
A picture update. This is the Poire cake that I also like to get.
A layer of light and creamy chocolate mousse, topped with layer of white chocolate mousse, with poached pear flambee.
