Because I am on a bit of a money crunch (I kind of like the challenge to be honest.. lol) I decided to not splurge a million bucks on my mom.
I help out by making dinner on a weekly basis, cooking up a nice meal twice a week. I'm far from complaining about it, as I really do love it.
I love feeding people and what better people to feed than my family?
Anyway, this year I made my mom a cake. I make excuses to make people cakes whenever possible, lol.
Aside from the really expensive perfume we (my dad, brother and I) split, this is what I baked up!
I made a strawberry & vanilla cream custard (fresh berries..duh), layered between vanilla bean and chocolate cake..topped with 70% cocoa ganache.
It was dairy free and well received :)
