Practicing My Husband's Birthday Cake~


Gleaned ..totally gleaned at Dulce Delight~ 



So..I still need practice..But I had fun trying:) I found a blog ..that..well you have heard how opposites attract?
The first time I saw one of her videos..I thought ..what a bubbly happy talented creative girl~
You have to go and see for yourself..
Total Opposites~
I am fair.. older..much older:)..listen to classical music while I bake..or..Norah Jones..Adele,Henri Salvador,Rod Stewart..etc..
I am quiet..and somewhat reserved..
What a breath of fresh air this girl is..
I even love her music..
I had to watch the video for this cake over and over to get it..must admit the whole movie is cute..love the Portuguese music..(I think that's what it is:) )This girl should have her own show..A Happy fun show:)
So creative..
Anyways..I have errors..the template wasn't available at the time for the hearts and dots so I drew my own.. not quite perfect..I should have colored the polka dots a different pink..I think I need to tap my pan..as I had a lot of air holes..contrary to my white rolls..I don't like the lines my parchment paper made..
I practiced without the berries.. and I made a slightly different white chocolate cream..I used 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup white chocolate..just a small amount to add to my whipped heavy cream..as I was concerned it would not work..
Anyway I am definitely making this type again..
It was fun..and it will be better for J's actual bday:)~♥


Cute eh?  Wait till you watch some of her videos:)~
For the recipe you will just have to go see for yourselves..
I think she makes people feel happy.
You'll see I left 3 comments..it's in person that I am more reserved:)
She lives at Dulce Delight~

In the interim..I will be making this again next Sat..if anyone has any tips about my air bubbles..and the lines the parchment left..pray tell:)?

 and ppss plse forgive the shots..it's dreary..cold and still loads of snow here~

    I discovered her awhile back. She is just precious and amazingly talented. I saw a little bit of her at a competition with that chef that screams at everyone. He thought her dessert was delicious. Ok, I have to go see how you made this.

    Also, Rachel Khoo is a really talented. You can find her on yt - English, but now lives in Paris. Just Darling.

    She's one of a kind..I knew for sure she would make many of you smile..her joie de vivre is so sweet..and the little dog in that particular video was so cute too:)

    Thanks everyone..

    Thank you for the recommendations too..

    You must mean Gordon Ramsay as the screamer:)
    He has a show on that is much more subdued.. and he is very good on it.
    I've only seen it once..

    And everything is so cute:) I think because she is so natural..and unaffected by her very visible charm and talents..it makes her even more watchable and endearing:)

    So glad you are all discovering her:)

    The queen of hearts, that's you. And this awesome cake will steal your beloved's heart.

    I've caught Dulce's site before, and her bubbly personality is contagious. She's a natural in front of a camera.

    Happy Birthday to your beloved 'J!'

    It is so wonderful to know you are loved after so many years and Jacques knows that in Hearts - not Spades :) We are both so lucky that way. What a profusion of birthdays we have. Dane's first birthday was this past week ❤

    what a lucky man J is! I think his cake is already perfect, but I can also understand that for that special person it needs to be perfect! It is very romantic..as it should be.
    I wish him a very happy day..i'm sure the kiddies will join in as will the big kids...and all will becole young kiddies around the birthday cake...we should never forget how to recall that child in us..
    Have fun

    It is a beauty, M! Happy Birthday to J!
    Lily's is tomorrow, 12 already, and Eamom will be 1 in June.
    Time flies! I am already planning his first bday party. It will be here, as he is the only one of the 5 who is a summer baby.
    Thank you for your expression of sympathy for my sister's little gson. It has been very difficult for them.
