Geburtstag!

None of my German friends has ever had me make them a cake before. I've taken cupcakes to my doctor once or twice, but I've discovered that the thing the Germans really love is Brownies. I don't think that they have anything like that here, so it's really a treat.

Anyway, my doctor has told me that American cakes are too sweet, I guess it's all the frosting.

Anyway, again, one of the teachers at The Kid's school wanted a birthday cake for her mother's 90th birthday. I was told...."She likes roses". That was all. Crap, my rose piping skills are pretty out of date, I don't think I've made a buttercream rose in over 3 years.

So I did the next best thing, I hid my cruddy piping skills with chocolate covered strawberries (another thing I don't think they make here!).

Ok, I guess they're not *THAT* bad.
