A Birthday Cake

A double celebration

The Red Velvet Birthday Cake Frosted with Philly's Cream Cheese and Mascarpone Cheese, topped with Hawaiian coconut, fresh strawberries and blueberries.

We have always try to celebrate birthdays of loved ones. It would be nice to have a birthday surprise in terms of a birthday cake- especially a Red Velvet perhaps. This birthday cake is specially done, for Ms Zetty. She was a friend of a friend, and I have baked this as a challenge. A challenge for myself. Never done a birthday cake with writings on it. Thus, I have used the writing pen to save my time. Overall it took me 5 hours to do this. What a nice taste to use mascarpone cheese for this frosting. Like I've said in a previous post, back in 2008, when you bake, do not be stingy with the ingredients. The more you spend for your ingredients, the better the results. Ooo.. wouldn't it be nice if you relate it to your life? The more time you spend with your loved ones, the loved ones would love you more too... perhaps then.

Happy days ahead, hope your birthday is celebrated with a cake from the loved ones...
