I'm scheduling this post, as Tuesday and Wednesday are hugely busy days for me - I'm doing final exams, in the form of one-to-one interviews, for 33 university students. Intensive, challenging, fun and well-paid! But I promised to tell you about the two mega-cakes at my birthday tea party... The chocolate monster above was made by Son 2, in partnership with me.
The recipe was from his wonderful new cookbook, The Barefoot Contessa, which he won in Sherri B's recipe competition.
Doesn't this chocolatey smile say it all?
And here is the final offering - Chocolate Buttercream Cake, made and decorated by Son 2. Wow, what a cake!
Look at the difference in the weather between this June and last! Same dress, though...

I will second that "Wow, what a cake"! The Barefoot Contessa would be proud. Didn't you have a nice birthday with two cakes baked by your men. I am very pleased to see that the cookbook is getting such a good workout...#2 sure doesn't let any grass grow under his feet now does he?
