SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE for Noosha

Happy middle of this short week everyone!

Let me tell you, time flies unbelievably quickly sometimes. And when I bake, it goes double that fast. It was a bit too crazy at our home this weekend, my poor one normal oven was on constantly, my tiny kitchen was packed with baking stuff and a bit messy all the time, hard when you don't have a dishwasher. But when you love it, you gotta do it, right?

First I had a few big important cakes to make over the weekend.

Noosha celebrated her 12th birthday and she wanted to have a pool party. How cool is that? (Although less cool was that it was cold and it rained on Sunday). Noosha wanted a grown-up cake and gave me her idea pretty straight forward. Chocolate mud cake with cream cheese vanilla buttercream, all covered in hard white royal icing, with pink and silver rosettes on side and sign in chocolate on top of the cake. I received an amazing feedback on the cake after the party, so I think they didn't mind the weather that much after all!
