Birthday cake for Jorge



Clown chocolate cappuccino cheesecake with marzipan and buttercream





 Chocolate cappuccino cheesecake

Destroyed...not totally



My office-mate Jorge turns 31. This is a surprise cake awaiting him for his birthday tomorrow. He mentioned that he had never tried cheesecake in his life. I thought that his birthday could be a good opportunity for him to try it for the first time :). I chose a milk chocolate cappuccino cheesecake with cookie crumbs as a crust. I glazed it with apricot marmelade and covered with a layer of yellow marzipan. I covered the sides of the cake with buttercream, made a clown from fondant and finally put a chocolate writing.

I was inspired by Wilton's Clown cake. Why did I choose a clown design? I think it really suits Jorge's personality. He has his red clown nose at the office and wears it from time to time to make us laugh. He is always positive and cheerful, spreading his good mood around.

                                                 

Happy Birthday, Jorge!

¡Feliz cumpleaños amigo!
