Victoria’s 8th Birthday

July 21, 2015 By Manu 4 Comments

 
Victoria’s 8th Birthday

On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 8!!! I cannot believe it’s been 8 years already since the first time I got to hold her in my arms. She was so tiny! <3 And now she is turning into a beautiful girl. We love you so much princess and we are all very proud of you!!

She celebrated in school with her friends on the 16th itself and I made some Two-tone Rose Cupcakes.

On Sunday, for Victoria’s 8th birthday we had a little party with some of our closest friends. She had a blast and got many wonderful presents (thank you everyone!).

As she is now turning into a little girl, she asked me for a more “grown up theme” for her birthday party. So we decided to go for a “high tea”.

So you can guess that I have been really busy in the kitchen this past week, as I obviously prepared all the food at home!

And obviously… a cake! I made her a Rosette Mud Cake.

It’s a chocolate mud cake filled with chocolate ganache and decorated with a deliciously silky Swiss meringue buttercream.

For the adults, I also made some Green Tea Mojito shooters.
