Cake

So, I was making cake. I've been planning on making myself a birthday cake, and I hit upon this one in Alice Medrich's book Bittersweet (which is the most amazing cookbook, ever!)

Anyway, I hit upon the Strawberry Celebration Cake







Yuuuuummmmmm. It was started with a génoise , with a rum/simple syrup soaking syrup, a Mascarpone cheese/whipped cream filling with Strawberries (I should have packed it with strawberries), with a chocolate belt around the outside and topped with chocolate ruffles.

I am so full.
