Today is my birthday and the baker in me couldn't not bake a cake. I made it as pink and girly as possible, cos I deserve it....hehehe. This cake recipe comes from the book Cakes Galore and is a Golden Buttercream Cake but I added pink colouring instead of yellow. The sponge is light, moist and buttery, finished off with lashings of sweet heavenly buttercream. I couldn't resist adding some pastel spots to finish the cake off with an extra girly touch. I am looking forward to a day full of fun, gifts, cake and quality time with hubby and my son!
To all my fellow bloggers I've cut you all each a virtual slice of my birthday cake, enjoy!
Happy birthday x

ReplyDeleteI had a lovely day and was spoilt rotten. One of my gifts from hubby is a pedigree British Shorthair Cream Kitten!! I can't wait to bring him home but by breeders laws they can't let you have the kitten till they are 13 weeks. I will post pics soon!
