After shoving my phone in my boyfriends face for about two years with every single cake Lorena posted on her Instagram profile, he finally got the hint. He managed to persuade her to make an exception and work her rare free time during the holidays to make me a surprise birthday cake (thanks mom for the birthday on the 31st of December). The only thing poor Lorena had to go on as a hint was that ‘she likes Pornstar Martini’s’. But boy did she deliver!! Lorena made me a beautiful Gatsby-style cake with Passionfruit Custard -still screaming in my mind when saying that- champagne crème au beurre and white chocolate rice pops on a red velvet base. And by chance red velvet happens to be my favorite cake as well, so Douze Points!

Lorena was very sweet and helpful to tell my boyfriend how to transport the cake and she even helped him out with a video of how to cut it, because yes, it kinda hurts to actually touch such a beautiful cake with a knife, so best to do it the best way possible. Afterwards she gave me some tips on how to keep the cake in the freezer to be able to enjoy later on, because sadly in the end there were still COVID measurements and it was just a little much to eat all at once by a few people…..

Who am I kidding, to be honest I only thought: HAH! more for me!!
