Last Thursday was our dearest friend, Krista's birthday. They invited me to a surprise birthday dinner but I can't make it. =( She is the nicest,sweetest,kindest girl I've met.So sweet it's hard not to fall in love with her. Now that I think of it, the first time we met was 2 years ago at Juliette et Chocolat and she was wearing a white dress with a red coat.I know.I still remember what my friend Zainab was wearing during Frosh two years ago.I'm a creep like that.=P
Anyhoots,since I can't make it to the dinner, I decided to make her a birthday cake instead. I settled for cupcakes at first, but , no no, she's too special, cupcakes won't do. I learnt that she loves chocolate and berries. With the time constraint, I decide to make somewhat the same cake I made for Trisha and Justine's Birthday. Chocolate cake with strawberry cheesecake filling. BUT, this time, I used vanilla icing and I put chocolate coated strawberries on the top. I cheated by the way. I didn't have enough time (term papers due and a friend is coming over to make red velvet cuppies ) plus I don't have enough ingredients, I used the boxed ones. Honestly, if you'r making a two layer cake, please spent some time making them from scratch.SO MUCH BETTER.
Wee!
Vanilla Buttercream Icing
1 cup butter
