Awfully Sinful Walnut White Chocolate Cake

It is my colleague's birthday next Monday, but she will be taking leave. So there is no chance of me making her a birthday cake on next Sunday. I decided to give her the cake tomorrow, at least I get sufficient time to prepare the cake...

SySy mentioned to me that she is a cake monster and she loves any kind of cakes, and that she is also likes to try new flavors. I saw this Macadamia White Chocolate Cake, and maybe I can try this out... Unfortunately, I do not have macadamia nuts and I replace that with walnuts instead.

The vanilla sponge cake being sliced into 3 slices, covered with the whipped cream coated with walnuts.

White chocolate is coated onto the cream cake.

The finishing:

I topped it up with almond flakes on the side and the top, with chocolate glazing.

Here is SySy...

I think she is surprised... maybe..??? hehehe

Blowing the candle...

(hope she likes the cake..., but I told her to eat the cake at her own risk... ahahaha)

And of course me, the baker and the rest of my colleagues...

Okie, I asked Sysy how was the cake the next day, she said it was very nice...

Glad that she likes it... ;))
