Birthday cakes 2010

I threw two birthday parties this year - one to my university friends, one to my extended family (parents, aunties, soon-to-be-90-granny). That obviously meant two different birthday cakes :P

Coffee cake (my traditional birthday cake, recipe here):


Here's a close-up of the cake slice:


Raspberry meringue cake with cocoa nibs (recipe is still work-in-process, but the cake was absolutely delicious!)
