Happy Birthday!!
It was my Sisters birthday a couple of weeks ago and I didn't have much time to make her a cake, so the day before, I made this chocolate bunt cake and on the day, made the Choux pastry and filled them with fresh whipped cream. I thought I could show you that even if you don't have much time that you can still make quite a pretty cake for either a man or woman (maybe not the bunting with the mans) and everything looks good with icing sugar sifted on top!

The cake is a simple chocolate cake 200g of sugar and butter, 150g self raising flour (or plain flour with a couple of tsp of baking powder), 50g of cocoa and 4 eggs. Mix it all together and cook for about 30-45 Min's until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
Make some choux buns, there are many good recipes on the net you can use and fill with fresh whipped cream. I whip mine up with about 50g of sugar and a drizzle vanilla extract.
Bungalows and Bears for a burger and drinks, New India Garden for a delicious curry, York for a nice day christmas and birthday shopping and back down to London for a couple of days then to top it off re-living the days of our 15 year old emo selves, seeing Papa Roach to top it off! Happy Birthday T, I had so much fun! I hope you did too!
