Birthday Cakes

In the whole year waiting for one day: Your Birthday!
I had the pleasure to make two cakes for two direct me loving people. The great thing about birthday cakes you can make your ideas run free. Therefore, I have made a slightly smaller round cake with a chocolate cake bottom and a vanilla cream filling covered ​​with cream and sprinkles.

The other cake was a little more complicated. Was decorated in a rectangular shape and with lots of sweets and the cake was  still easy on the stomach. The cake interior consisted of a light cake bottom down on a strawberry cream and a white chocolate mousse and whipped cream and finally a dyed in pink cake floor. Outside the cake was covered with a chocolate cream. Like a fence were attached Caprice rods on the cream. Before the cake is decorated to an end, they must be placed only in the refrigerator so that the cream is set. Once the cream is set, anyone can put on the cake candies. It is possible to decorate the cake with everything.
