Birthday Celebrations

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.
