I’m not usually one to celebrate my birthday but last week I turned 30 and I decided to treat myself a little bit. You see, I’d been following BakerLou for ages now and had been loving to look of her cakes. So earlier in the year I commissioned her to make my very own 30th Birthday cake. After many messages and choices, we’d agreed on a chocolate cake with a coffee cream and Malteasers as a topper on it. I couldn’t wait! In fact, I order it so long ago that it just seemed to take forever for my birthday to come around. At the same time as ordering my…
