What an Amazing Birthday Cake! What are the darker pieces on the outside of the cake? It looks so good! Hope you had a great day! (I was going to say I hope you have yummy cake but as I can see you did!) Happy Birthday!
Hello, my name is Natalie.
I'm an omnivore with some vegetarian tendencies.
I love to pore over cookbooks, browse good food photography, and voraciously read food literature.
Food is an art.
I'm interested in the history and origins of foods, and I find food science fascinating.
Travel and exploration are a couple of my loves- I've been to Mexico (but never the beach), Guatemala, England, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Gabon, and Australia- several places multiple times. I'd go anywhere though!
I cook a little for work and a lot for pleasure.
Favorite cuisines include French, Italian, and California.
Though I have two other jobs in addition, in real life my education is as an occupational therapist (mostly with experience in orthopedics), and I think about working in private practice OT one of these days with children who have a variety of disabilities while using cooking as therapy for things such as tactile defensiveness and fine motor control.
I don't have formal culinary training. Anything I know is from trial-and-error, reading, experience, and what others have shared with me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'll type up the recipe at some point...
The filling and "frosting" are a chocolate pudding and the outside is covered with cake crumbs.
