This time does what it does and flies at the speed of thought… I don’t know where… It’s like yesterday was last year and it seemed like it was my birthday. Don’t ask me what happened in the meantime, because I don’t know anymore. I only know that it was the 25th of March and suddenly I realized that it is my birthday again… Another year has passed, with good, with bad, with all that there were. I thank God that he gave me and my loved ones health, that he kept us close and that we are happy and loved.
This year I celebrated my birthday with my family, with my loved ones, at our home. On this occasion, we prepared an Italian-style meal, namely: bruschette with tomatoes, breadsticks with basil and oregano, focaccia with olives and rosemary, seafood pasta, and Tiramisu for dessert. It took me some time to think about what cake to make, especially since it had to be in tune with the Italian evening. Initially, I wanted to make some panna cotta by the glass, but because it was too simple…I came up with the idea of combining it in a cake. In fact… there were two cakes, this one for the face and another one with chocolate, but that one didn’t get to be seen by the lens of the camera :).
What can I tell you about the girl’s cake…first of all…I wanted it to be pink, which is why I made a little mistake and added a little dye. Nah, on big days, it is allowed…I hope? 😀 You can do without the dye very well. Because it looks pretty good without it. What can I tell you, my talent struggled a bit and I wanted it to look a bit like a painting on the edges… I didn’t succeed, but at least I got the inside and the taste right. :)).
It is a cake with two types of top, one crunchy with hazelnuts and one soft and fluffy, with strawberry jelly and panna cotta in which I put lots of chopped strawberries. And, according to the husband, it came out like a stained glass window on the inside :)).
Even if it looks like a more sophisticated cake, the preparation method is not that complicated. The good part is that the cake tops can be made the day before, on the day of serving the cake you can prepare the strawberry jelly and panna cotta. If you have questions and concerns, I look forward to hearing from you here in the comments section.
