Birthday Cake and Truffles~Looong..

So I am sure you can see..that our youngest daughter turned 40♥

She was celebrated with friends at a resto..in such a touching way..

here Mylène does the birthday dinner..combined w/ mine..hers is the 21rst and I am very close..
we had a great time.
All Mexican food..delicious..

I like making them a special cake..Mylènes' had Snow White on hers when she turned forty as she is our Disney Princess..

The cake I made was this Chocolate cake with Nutella  Buttercream Frosting..the decor..I saw in a Ricardo magazine..I saved the photo.But I have no clue..what yr..even if it was this year..!!
You simply place Pokys around it..ap 120 to be exact.Pipe a few rosettes and add ribbon.
I was once told I had the patience of Job..:)
In this case..I agree..skinny little things;)




The girls we have are fun..and smart and kind and loving.
Wonderful moms..
I will not go on and on..you get the picture..

and I received beautiful cards..these two..♥well these are the ones I am sharing..:)

All of them..so sweet..daughters ..so nice..brother..husband..friends.. niece,lovely cards.

but the above..again they go to French school..
well..
I am so happy I am sweat♥


Re the Truffles..

I find them so pretty in these colors..like petits fours..when I saw them at..Sally' s Baking Addiction..
I Pinned them..under Valentine's..but then..they would have been too much w/ the cookies etc..still I had to try..I mean birthdays..parties..decorating cakes..and you can add a few decorations to these too..but overkill.
They are adorable..and that little spiral tool at the forefront of the second truffle photo..is "winner"..
All you have to do..is go get her easy truffle recipe..you will be smitten as I was.. she has a link to choco truffles w/ a video on how to use this invaluable tool:)
I know I love tulips ..etc..peonies..lilacs..ranunculus..irises..roses..delphiniums and hollyhocks..soon hellebores..gerberas ..hydrangeas..etc..
but it has been about 20 yrs since I have had one..an orchid..
this one came to live with us.
I am struck by the size of these flowers and the number of them..I hope I hope I hope I can get to bloom again once done.
it's a beautiful..graceful arch..

Wanted to show you the precious artwork..framed.
