This year both our birthdays happened up in the air: Erik's was celebrated on the plane coming back to France after our quick trip to Toronto, and mine on a plane coming back to Paris from Prague. It's been a busy month, and so the celebrations have been more of a drawn out affair, resulting in lots of cake, and lots of reasons to enjoy some Champagne.
The cake above was my new favorite, Nigella Lawson's chocolate Guinness cake, with cream cheese icing. It's easy to make, and Erik likes the fact that there's always a half can of beer left over for him to enjoy. I made this one on my birthday, and Erik got molten chocolate cakes that I made the other day when Karina and Joan came over for dinner.
All in all, it's been a busy month for both of us, full of travel, friends and family. What more could a person ask for? (except maybe a Kitchen Aid stand mixer....) :)
