Let Us Eat Cake!

       There are many ways to categorize people, by nationality, whether they're country folk or city folk or my favorite...whether they are cake people of cookie people?  My daughter, Sofia, is a cookie person.   My son, Daniel,  like me is a cake person.  Since we had a birthday in the family this week I thought, let me ask Doug and Michael if they make birthday cakes...I'm here to announce that yes they do...you need to ask and be sure to give them enough lead time.

     The cake that is pictured here is a chocolate cake (4 laters) with chocolate butter cream icing and a thin raspberry jam spread on each layer.  The slice that I was served had a deep chocolatey taste that I usually associate with heavy cakes.  This one, much to my surprise, was light with the taste of raspberry subtle and a nice complement to the chocolate.  The cake would easily serve 10 to 12.  Beautiful to behold, wonderful to eat and share with friends and family.                                   

     Last night it was cake with coffee...tonight, it's a splash of port wine with a small slice...I may not be at the bakery...but this is just as good when I can enjoy it at home after a long day.  Happy day after your birthday, Pam.
