Work celebrated my birthday this year. I got a very delicious mocha cake and a lunch of homemade enchiladas with mole sauce.
They surprised me pretty good and it was a nice gesture.
For my actual birthday I made Berry Surprise Cake. It is a genoise cake hollowed out in the middle and filled with a cream cheese filling and raspberries. It is topped with a whipped cream frosting. I definitely need to learn more about genoise cakes and baking them properly. Luckily frosting covers up a multitude of sins so it looked pretty good. I was not happy with the individual components but the cake did come together nicely. I think I liked it better the second day and maybe it will get made again.
