The title is from a song btw... Anyway, to get our Wednesday started, here is a cute image I found on one of my favourite daily reads. Since our subject today has something to do with both Love and Chocolate, I thought this image is perfect!
Today I have something special to share with you all. It's a cake I whipped up this morning for my dear husband, Lui. Recently we've been witnessing blessings in our lives for which we are truly grateful for. My hubby has been working very hard at his job, and sometimes it may go unnoticed by some, but his bosses and I know the amount of dedication he's been investing in his role that has and is making a huge impact in their company. He's the go-to guy for anything - Lui this, Lui that. Very similar to my current role as a stay-at-home-Mum - Mum this, Mum that...hehehe. Lui very rarely wants a piece of my cakes, maybe because I make them too often it's lost its special factor about it, I don't know, but when he asked me on Monday if I could bake him a cake 'just 'cause' I thought 'wow, this is strange'. So today I made a simple but rich-in-chocolate-and-deliciousness cake for him. If he is reading my post today then there won't be a big surprise reveal when he gets home later, but that's okay, we can all still enjoy eating it as a family after dinner. :-)
Of course, when I say simple, I meant about the decoration of the cake. The frosting is not perfectly finished, but I think the handmade look gives it a nice touch. I couldn't help my self from adding some embellishments to the finish, in this case making some frilly border to surround the bottom of the cake, and some Maltesers shaped in a heart to go on top. I have to admit I couldn't resist eating a couple of those Maltesers in the process, lol. But I didn't eat any until I saw what resembled a heart shape, hehe.
Before I reveal the cake, here's a scanned pic of something I found inside my (yummy) cereal box (
Hubbard's Light & Right Berry Uplift). I cut it out and placed it on our fridge, just as a reminder of how blessed we truly are. Hopefully you can appreciate this, too.
