Miriam's 50th Birthday Cake

I did this cake for my sister Miriam, she loves chocolate and I used the Fresh Coconut Cake for a perfect match!

Fresh Coconut Cake http://marthesefood.blogspot.com/2012/01/fresh-coconut-cake-with-lime-and.html

Chocolate Paste

200g Red Sugar Paste

50g Green Sugar Paste

50g White Sugar Paste

500g Marzipan Pastry

3 tablespoons Apricot Jam

2 tablespoons brandy

Prepare the cake and pour over lime and cranberry syrup as in recipe. Heat apricot jam and brandy until syrupy. When cake is completely cold brush with hot apricot glase. Roll Marzipan to 4mm thickness and cover cake. Roll Chocolate paste http://marthesefood.blogspot.com/2011/10/jeromes-birthday-cake.html between sheets of baking paper and arrange on top with folds to resemble blanket. Make or buy ready made roses and arrange on one side and arrange the 50 on the other.

I am a crazy foodie, intrigued by spicy aromas, saltiness of cured meats, crisp fresh garden vegetables and wonderful tangy tastes of glorious cheeses. I love food from the heart and go to great lengths preparing recipes from scratch. I make fresh pasta, various pickles and preserves, pork sausages, and even my own wine! I have a husband and two lovely children, who love simple yet tasty food. I improvise on my own recipes and with the exception few old favourites I hardly prepare the same recipe over. I hate takeaways as I believe that I can provide good hearty meals in less time, with healthier values and surely cheaper on the pocket. I'm inspired by nature and its power to gives us an array of produce from one season to another. I try as hard as I can not to mingle Winter with Summer crops as I strongly believe that they come into their season for a purpose. I dedicate this Blog to my children and hope that in the future, they will find my recipes useful and bring back the taste of good old 'MUM'.
