  1. This is fantastic! Love the icing outside – very effective but (hopefully) attainable to those of us not-yet skilled – and ADORE the tiny heart. So, so sweet.
    Happy belated birthday to one of my greatest inspirations!

  2. Your talent as a designer, baker, decorator, writer and photographer is exceptional. You continually leave me awestruck.

  3. Happy birthday! What a beautiful cake. You are a beautiful lady!

    I’m glad to see your still alive. So I guess there really is no such thing as death by chocolate? Good luck as you finish all the craziness!

  4. Happy Birthday! Thank you for everything you do and share!. Your words are very touching, I truly enjoy receiving your updates via email. They make me smile inside…
    I love this cake, it’s gorgeous!. I would love to see a tutorial on this amazing cake, especially how to do the frosting decoration on the outside and which tip you used. The sides almost look braided. It looks breath taking!. I want to learn how to do that! Thanks again!!
