An alternative brithday cake....

Although the classics such as vanilla and chocolate always go down so well as birthday cakes (especially if you're carving them to suit a particular design), I always think it's nice to experiment with new flavours.

With this in mind I set about looking for a new recipe for my sister's birthday. Knowing that she isn't a massive fan of buttercream or icing I made an almond and raspberry triple layer cake with a white chocolate sour cream frosting. It was all finished off with a flower paste rose and leaves (courtesy of the tutorial at The Pink Whisk) and a pink ribbon. Here are a few snaps of the finished article!
