Merry Un-birthday cake

"A very Merry Un-birthday to you!" the Mad Hatter and March Hare sang to Alice at the tea party in the 1951 Disney film.  Lewis Carroll popularised the term 'unbirthday' which basically describes any day where it is not the recipient's birthday.  I wanted to create a special cake for such an occasion but not something which would steal the attention away from the centrepiece cake.  I chose pastel colours and gave my cake a delicate, decoratively piped look as  I wanted to achieve a cake with a timeless vintage quality especially for the guest of honour: Alice.  There are even some little blown out candles at the base!
 
 


 

 

Chocolate and strawberry layer cake

 
This is a chocolate and vanilla sponge layer cake sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, covered with dark chocolate ganache and topped with halved fresh strawberries.  There are two loose slices cut out of the cake which comes displayed on a glass domed cake stand with a fine paper doily.
