Happy Birthday!

  





Last weekend was my Dad’s birthday and my Dad LOVES violet creams so I tried to make him a violet cream inspired cake. You can just see the violet coloured butter icing spilling out, the sponge was a plain Victoria sponge but with a bit of cocoa powder mixed in and the topping was a chocolate ganache to give it the shiny look with crystallised violets to sit on top. For supper we had a light meal (we’d eaten a delicious meal at HIX in Soho) of takeaway sushi and the most beautiful rainbow chard, stir fried with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame seeds.
