    I’m baking DS’ birthday cake today.
    My house smells so freaking good right now...

    Oooh pics!!! What kind of cake

    Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake
    We’ve only made the top & bottom layers, which are like fluffy brownies. In-between will go fresh whole strawberries and chocolate-strawberry mousse. Then the whole thing will be topped with ganache & more strawberries.

    Done! This thing kicked my rear... but taste tests suggest it’ll be delicious! 🍓

    Should look like this when we slice it:

    very pretty!!!!
    If you had some extra chocolate you could have drizzled it over the top strawberries but it's a beauty.

    Thanks 😊

    I debated more formal decoration, but... he’s 6. He wants sprinkles and birthday candles. LOL! If I ever tackle this bad boy again I’ll make a “grown up” version with shaved chocolate & dipped berries.

    I like the decorating part of cakes so I always tend to go over the top only because I find it relaxing

    it looks super chocolatey I'm sure he will love it I made one of those once with white chocolate. They look so pretty when you cut into them

    Do you ever have no inspiration for lunch but know you have to eat something but just can't figure out what you want? This is happening to me right now. I need to eat something cause I have curling after lunch but I just can't think of what I want. grrrr

    I am very basic with my lunch, bread with turkey and 2 boiled eggs or bread with cheese and 2 boiled eggs
    I guess i am authistic like that, lol!

    I got a salad kit I will make up and add some cheese. I"m odd and really like salad

    Oh i do like salads, but for lunch it's not practical since i eat it 15 minuts before i go to gym and the bread is easier to eat behind desk and still work

    makes sense. I just need to have something otherwise I'll be starving by the end of my game this afternoon and after the game I have to run home to get the boy and get him organized for hi swim lesson
