JUNE BIRTHDAY

from my birthday last month.  dear friends, desserts, wine, and good conversation on the front porch late into the night. opted for making this raw ganache cake and some rhubarb + pear galettes, since i really don't like typical birthday cake. it's the perfect cake for summer, no baking involved, served best chilled.

I'm glad we chose to live in this house, if for the long porch alone.

  4. summer gatherings are the best! it's a lovely way to spend a birthday and those sweet treats look really good. i'm curious about that raw ganache chocolate cake. i've never tasted one before and hopefully i can bring myself to make one. hope you had a nice birthday!
