My Birthday Cakes

I received two delicious cakes on my birthday. I am wondering if my friends are trying to fatten me up as I grow older.

Tita Ludette Mossesgeld Moy gave me and my brother Lady M’s signature cake, Mille Crepes, which is 20 layers of hand made thin crepes, layered with a light custard cream. THE BEST!!!!

I have tasted only one that comes close to this and it was by Gaita Fores in one of her deserts which I truly truly enjoyed, Crepe Dulce de Leche sapin sapin, carabao milk gelato, rum poached mangoes and strawberries, batangas cacao lava. What a creative desert….and truly DIVINE!!! Gaita is one of my favorite chefs…I like her type of food….. and we have the same name.

Another cake I received was from my friend Derick Tee King. It was a cake from Miette and it came in this beautiful wrapping. Derick said that it is called the Princess Cake and he got it for me because he said I was a “princess.”

Derick is definitely my friend! “The cake shop darling and European birthday classic ~ always pale green with a pink rose. It consists of genoise sponge cake moistened with Chambord, a layer of homemade raspberry jam, pastry cream and lightly sweetened Straus Family Creamery whipped cream. Rather than the traditional marzipan covering, we drape our cake in a white chocolate fondant.”
