Happy Valentines Day, hope your having a day full of love and romance. My hubby has taken today off to spend it with me and he surprised me with another bunch of red roses, his main gift to me didn't arrive on time and his not too pleased, he was looking forward to presenting it to me (a heart pendant) this morning with my card and roses. So I have that to look forward to and our romantic meal out this evening ;o)This morning I had to bake this Chocolate Heart Sponge Cake for a client who wanted this made for her husbands birthday tomorrow. The recipe is by Nigella Lawson but I have changed the filling. It is a gorgeous chocolate sponge, with whipped cream and strawberry filling and topped with a chocolate ganache and sugarcraft hearts.
Hi Maria you are so deserving of those wonderful red roses and what a romantic hubby - so very lovely :D

ReplyDeleteAnd I am truly impressed with the choc cake...the heart shape has come out so well...I dont get this shape with the kind of pans I get in India...I also really liked the cupcakes you did with the lovely icing and loved the Pink Gerbara too...Feel like making it out of sugarpaste now :)
Hi Sugarcraft India
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the lovely comments, especially coming from such a talented baker as yourself. I use a heart silicone mould, which is probably why it keeps the shape, I definitely recommend them ;o) Thanks for dropping by!
