Sunny's Birthday cake

Above: Chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse and fresh sliced strawberries and covered with chocolate ganache.

This is an order from my lovely customer in occasion of her friends' birthday. Yes, it is 'friends' with 's' because 5 persons are happened to have their birthday very close together. What a big celebration it would be :)

I supposed to have this picture posted few weeks ago but there are long lists of orders keeping me super duper busy from the beginning of songkran holiday up until now. My special menu of summer like Ripe mango and lime cake makes such a big hit!
Finally, I got myself a short break to resume another important task of updating my blog. This is a Strawberry chocolate cake which I firstly created for my brother, Sunny whom I name the cake after. He had a special request for his birthday cake which I took it as a good opportunity to search for a good recipe of it. From a journey to a towering pile of my baking books, I select good elements here and there. I combined more than three recipes to set it up. And I think my attempt really worth it. Sunny's birthday cake wows the guests with an over-the-moon experience of chocolate cake.
This simply pretty cake is velvet chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse and fresh sliced strawberries. It is all covered with chocolate ganache which never fails to make any cake look luxuriously beautiful. Shiny lovely strawberries are placed on top to announce a key ingredient, at the same time, to make such a charming presentation of the cake!
