Nathaniel Reid Birthday Creation...

Nothing says "Happy Birthday"...

... like a delectable goodie from Nathaniel Reid?!  The "Ruby" is a red-glazed chocolate sponge cake with layers of raspberry cream and a mousse made with raspberry tea. Surrounded by crunchy candied hazelnuts, the cake is topped with chocolate flags, fresh raspberries, and edible gold leaf flakes. 

You can actually find the recipe for this yummy right here if feeling brave, or head to his shop in Kirkwood. 

Life is short, friends and you only turn 46 once.  Welcome it with flare!
