A Cake For A Dear Friend... Una Torta Per Una Cara Amica...

The Birthday gatherings with "the girls" continue... It's so fun to get together and celebrate our closest friends with food, cocktails, gifts and sometimes a craft.  Spending the better part of a day just having fun with the girls.  As I often do,  I made the cake... This one for Yuri... I decided on a "Naked Cake"... Pink Champagne Cake,  three layers, with Raspberries macerated in Chambord, topped with Chocolate Ganache and Buttercream.  I decorated with Sugared Roses and Homemade Vanilla Meringues,  to match the party theme that Jody did which was Champagne and Roses...

Torta al Cioccolato e Nutella per il Compleanno di Jim... Chocolate Nutella Birthday Cake for Jim...

Chocolate Cake... Jim's favorite...  Nutella Filling and Dark Chocolate Ganache poured over the top makes it delicious.... Sugared Roses and Rosemary make it beautiful...
