As it was such a success last year, I decided to make the chocolate, cheery and port cake from my Mich Turner recipe book. The cake is so wonderfully rich and chocolatey with a hint of alcohol in the cherries, what could be better!
I remained true to her design and kept it simple with piped ganache and whole cherries to decorate, however as it was quite warm when I took these photos, the ganache does look super shiny! That is the peril of making ganache in the middle of summer (However as I listen to the rain pound against the widows today I am wondering if that was our summer!)
I had some brilliant cards for my birthday as well, and these set off the setting for my cake perfectly, especially the cute grumpy cat with the bow which was from my boyfriend, I'm not sure exactly what he was trying to tell me there...!
