Happy Birthday Andrea! September 10th, 2014

I was very surprised to receive an email for a cake order this September.  My family has currently been moving, but I surprised myself and pulled this one out of my new (to me) oven!

Michael was in search of a light cake for his wife's birthday, with peaches, blueberries, and raspberries, without much frosting.  He asked for a 10 or 12" cake which is very large for just a couple, but it seems like they are already half-way through it!  The cake you see is 10".

Each layer is:  Yellow Chiffon, Peach-Ginger Jam, Fresh Blueberries (from a local farm), and an Italian Meringue Raspberry Mousse (raspberries were also from a local farm).

 Michael brought me the peaches from a local farm and they came out beautiful and juicy for the top of the cake.  Finished the fruit with a peach glaze to encase things and keep the oxygen out.
