Made my own birthday cake!


This is a black sesame yuzu cake, using the sponge and butter cream recipes from King Arthur Baking (Susan Reid) and the sesame crunch from Natasha Pickowicz's wedding cake for NYT Cooking.

    Happy birthday 🎈, i always think birthdays are so much more special when we can bake and decorate cake by our own. It’s just a gift which can’t be replicated by anyone.

    For a second I thought you were aiming for a cute “hatch day” vibe, because the decorations look a bit like the top of an open egg. The cake is absolutely stunning. Happy “hatch day”!

    How did you make the little fried egg decorations? This is so cute.

    Professional chef/baker? That’s is beautiful….and flavors sound amazing. Would love to see a slice picture.

    I like the King Arthur site recipes… I clipped a bunch of stuff from their 49 best fall recipes collage this year.
