I’m in the middle of packing up for the Frankfurt Book Fair. I’ll be gone until Sunday, meeting people, walking around, trying to sell rights, etc. So I’ll leave you with this cake:
Well, it’s not really for you. Today is Em’s birthday and, since we’re flying to Frankfurt instead of going by rail, she’s not terribly excited about it. So I’ve made her the most richest birthday cake ever. It’s probably too rich to actually eat, not that that’ll stop anybody trying. Here’s another photo, because the ganache looks so excellent:
One of my biggest complaints about the Frankfurt Book fair is that they let the public in (supposedly only on the final two days, although they’re actually there the whole time). We spend most of the year trying to show the public what we’ve got; book fairs are for doing business within the industry. But oh well. If you’re there, stop by the Snowbooks stand to see the Crafter’s Companion (and me!).
Happy Birthday to Em! The ganache looks so yummy.
Oh my gosh that cake looks yummy! Lucky you going to the Frankfurt Book Fair, I want to make it there someday. Oh, and I just ordered my copy of Crafter’s Companion!
Wow! Happy Birthday Em!!!
That cake looks so lovely and rich that I think I need a glass of milk *smile*
Have a wonderful trip and would you mind saying “hello” to you and having a long look at that fabulous new book for me! Oh please give yourself a hug too!
