For dessert my stepdad picked up a cake from a local bakery, a framboisier:
... which is three layers of dark chocolate cake and chocolate truffle topped with fresh fruit:

It was very rich, which made the fruit a nice counterpoint.
That's just beautiful! What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday!

scmom - It's a great bakery. We got our wedding cake from the same place and they did an amazing job. Truly gorgeous.
RIL - Hey! Yeah, I know...I can't wait for summer fruit.
WOW - that makes my mouth water. I NEED one of those.
ReplyDeleteOooh, now that is my kind of cake!

ReplyDeleteHappy new Year (it's a bit belated, I know!). That cake looks really delicious - did you have it for breakfast the next day too or did it all go too quickly? :P
