  • It is very important to tell you that I’m not good at baking, but last year I decided to make a cake for my father’s birthday because it was the least expected thing that I could do for him.
  • My father doesn’t like cakes with a buttery taste. And he doesn’t like too airy cakes either. So, I chose to make a three-tier chocolate biscuit cake with the tender and moist texture.
  • I found a video recipe on the Internet and asked my mom to help me as I was afraid to spoil everything.
  • I baked several Cakes and made Chocolate Mousse first. Then I assembled it, stacking the layers on top of each other.
  • Also, I experimented with cake decorations a bit and finally decided on chocolate lace collars, decorating the outside of the bottom and middle cakes with them.
  • The cake looked gorgeous. The crumb was delicate and moist, the frosting was rich and creamy and utterly chocolatey.
  • It was filled with buttercream, fresh fruit, and nuts and flavored with citrus zests. I sprinkled the top tier of the cake with chocolate curls and dusted it with confectioners’ sugar.
  • I was so excited as I just couldn’t believe I managed to make it myself. It was the first time I had ever made a cake myself.
  • My mother just observed the process and tried not to interfere at all. Imagine how happy my father was to get it as a birthday present.
  • He was also very proud because we invited all our friends and relatives to a birthday party, and all of them tasted and liked my cake.
