Birthday Cake



It has come to the part of the year whereby I have to choose my birthday cake.

Siew Boon passed me a little professionally done catalog from Nectarie, a shop which specialise in gourmet cakes. I have to choose a cake for my birthday celebration.

I have shortlisted three:

1. Passion Green Tea
Green tea mousse with citrus passion fruits

2. Matcha Sweet Potato
Light green tea mousse with Japanese sweet potato

3. Dark Chocolate Opera
Dark Chocolate layered with coffee cream, expresso and almond sponge

Normally, I don't like my cake to be too sweet and if possible something without cream.

Dark chocolate Opera will seems to fit the bill but it is something we could get quite commonly.

Option 2 seems interesting. I have never eaten a sweet potato cake, have you?

Option 1 on the other hand somehow create a urge in me to taste it. I could feel the green tea taste and the sourish citrus passion fruit . I am salivating now.

So, my final option will be ... Passion Green Tea.

Mark, you are very Blessed to have friends that even pass you a booklet and asked you to choose your birthday cake.
I ordered a cake for 9th May, the salesgirl asked, "What wordings would you like to write on it?"
I said,"Happy Mother's Day".
It's for my mother not for my birthday. Haha.
See the difference?
