Cake is art. Every year I put a great deal of thought and creativity into my love's birthday cake. His favorite DJ is Bassnectar, thus I try to incorporate his symbol into his cake every year. This year I incorporated an album cover into it as well, bringing the elephant and hummingbird wings into the design. His trademark symbol was incorporated into the green "nectar flowers". The blue and brown whimsical "grasses" were the base to the "nectar flowers". But I made sure to make the focal piece the elephant and the symbolism behind.
We had a lovely meal before eating this cake. I treated him to a big tray of barbecue at Q Barbecue for a late lunch. Though very full, we saved room for cake (a couple hours late of course). The flavor profile of the cake was pina colada, because he has a love for fruit. The cake was a rum pound cake, the filling, a buttered rum pineapple (using fresh pineapple of course). With the addition to a not-so-sweet vanilla butter cream and sweetened coconut between every layer, it turned out exactly as planned and absolutely delicious. The texture was especially moist with the addition of the filling and we both truly enjoyed it.
It was such a lovely day, in which we spent eating and eating and watching a marathon of animated movies that made us feel like kids again. He enjoyed every bit of it, which made this little lady feel very accomplished and happy. Much to be smiling about for the guy who means everything to me. Happy 23rd Birthday Georgie, here's to many more beautiful memories and birthdays to come...
