Birthday Celebrating, Part I--The Cake

My oldest son's birthday is in October. We celebrated by making a fancy cake and going to an escape room.

The cake was inspired by the cover of a cookbook, with a glossy frosting and chocolate ribbons.

Playing with chocolate

Getting the right consistancy

Mixing the glaze

Prepping milk and choc chip mixture for the glaze

The boiled milk and chips looks appetizing (or maybe like one of Jupiter's moons)

Adding the other chocolate

Glossy glaze finish

Prepping the ribbon was a whole other process that was fun to do.

Prepping the ribbon

Pasta machine--the ultimate flattener

Teamwork!

Curly ribbons

Adding the ribbon

The cake didn't turn out "book cover perfect" but tasted great anyway.

Final product

A happy birthday boy!

More celebrating in the next post!

By the way, here is the cookbook cover...

I'm pretty sure this wasn't their first try.
