My sister is turning 21 on October 11, howver she'll be studying abroad in Geneva, Switzerland, so we had a surprise 21st birthday party for her over the weekend. Her favorite beer is Heineken Light, so I made her a Heine cake. I asked her what her favorite cake flavors would be because I had a cake to make for a wedding shower as well, and I she told me I should make lemon cake with a strawberry creme filling. So I used that flavor combo for her!I used this recipe for lemon verbena cake, I used Dorie's pastry cream recipe, halved, mixed with 1/2 c. fresh pureed strawberries, and my standard buttercream and fondant.
This is the pastry cream, no cake photo!
That is SO CUTE! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThe cake was so cute, but also sooo delicious. I really liked the lemon, strawberry, cream filling.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I can only imagine how much time it took in order for you to achieve such a level of detail! Nice work!
