I am in love with this stunning Scharffen Berger chocolate cake.
This one is called "Princess." Very fitting.
I love the simplicity of their "Old Fashioned." It reminds me of a perfect hot fudge sundae.
They also have amazing Parisian Macaroons and the most beautiful shortbread. And their cupcakes? Incredible!
What kind of birthday cake do you fancy?

Growing up, my mama would always make us mud pie on our birthdays (and for any holiday), so that's what makes me happiest (although I tried to replicate it once and it definitely wasn't the same!). I really love any fruit dessert--fruit tarts, key lime pie, peach cobbler, etc. The older I get, though, the more I'm drawn to decadent chocolate. Man oh man, I guess I love it all! Except shaved coconut--not into that. :)
happy birthday month to you! just yesterday i was telling sean that your birthday was in 17 days!!!!! mwahahahahaha! the third cake looks particularly tasty :) i think on your birthday you should get a slice of each. tell us which one you like the best :) ... though they ALMOST look too pretty to eat!
You have a great blog!
i love it!

Those cakes look so adorable & delicious! lol I'm more of a chocolate cake person :)
Ohhh yummy...I always have Belgium chocolate Bday cakes...I love them so much and a place next to us makes the best and cuties decorations :)
Hmmm....I can’t wait for my Birthday :)
Kisses darling and have a great Thursday
I LOVE Scharffen Berger chocolate!!! I bet that cake is delicious because their chocolate is incredible. I like the dark chocolate nibby bars they have.
All of these cakes look wonderful.
the princess cake is adorable!
I love Miette. Every time I make a trip up to San Francisco (which is often! :), I always try to go to the Ferry Building for grilled cheese sandwiches at Hog's Island and then immediately to Miette for macarons. (And then if I have stomach left, I go through the farmer's market, as well!). These cakes look soo yummy - worth going up north again for a try!!
(Though my favorite birthday cake is probably an ice cream cake :)
these are precious. I really heart my mom's chocolate cake with fruit topping... beautiful and yummy!
holy guacamole those look too pretty to eat. how did they get the frosting on the last one like that? i am certainly baffled. my birthday cake this year had marzipan... anything with marzipan wins my vote. and some apricot stuff and some chocolate stuff!!
otherwise, it's simply my go to red velvet!
I'm all about the the chocolate gauche and that photo is making me hungry for one even at 9 in the morning.
Happy birthday month!
I swoon for Miette! They got me hooked on my favorite European-market Haribo gummies, and their tomboy cakes! That's what I want at the table for my birthday!
hey it's my birthday month too! those look SOO yummy!
Oh my goodness. How perfect!
Oh Tiffany, it's your birthday, you've got to spoil yourself! Take 2 (and some macaroons)! I'll invite myself over ;-) xoxo
July is my Bday month too! My favorite birthday pastry would have to be red velvet cake with chocolate frosting... I'm a bit of a chocoholic :P. Those cakes looked too good to be true!
i think i'm a cupcake kind of gal!! :) fluffy with light icing and a berry on top.
p.s. don't forget to send me a childhood picture! i'd love to include you in my feature tomorrow! :) I know you were/are beautiful!!!
Oddly enough, I prefer frosting over cake; therefore, hand me a few tubs of frosting and I'm in my glory!
I think you need the Princess cake. It is gorgeous and completely makes me think of Marie Antoinette!! :)
Those Miette cakes are awesome, I just found out about them. You should celebrate your birthday this whole month! XO!
These are just too pretty to eat! But I'll take a slice of that last one ;)
Happy Birthday month!
xoxo J
I love those, that one with the cherry is perfection! - I fancy a vanilla cake and pink icing :)
Are those cakes actually real? They all look so incredibly perfect. A simple cake is definitely the way to go. Sigh...if I were closer, I'd bake you one.
I love :
1. ice-cream
2. anything with ice-cream
3. mont blanc
4. cheesecake
5. baklava
6. panna cotta
7. spoon sweets, especially walnut,cherries,orange (Greek speciality)
8. salame di cioccolato (Italian wonderful delicious mamma mia can't get enough sweet)
If you have difficulty translating the above or getting recipes, let me know but I warn you...forget about your diet!

Happy Birthday month! These cakes look incredible. I usually like chocolate cake with white frosting. Anything chocolate really will do:)
CLEARLY you deserve a bit of each!!!!
Red Velvet is my most favorite cake but I have to tell you I'd love a slice of any of the pictured cakes :)
these cakes are so feminine and petite, i love them! i'd love to try one.
i love italian cakes - i could eat italian cream for every meal!
this looks pretty but I'm more a brownie or ice cream person :)
I'm a July baby, too! I don't really love cake but I do like brownie cheesecakes and ones with a lot of chocolate. I bought a banana chocolate cake from my husband's birthday last week and it was yummy!
P.S. Canada day activities are pretty similar to the 4th of July--fireworks, BBQ, relaxing, that sort of stuff!
Hard to believe they are actual cakes. They look so perfect
Oh, Wow! These cakes look almost too pretty to eat... but I'm sure they taste amazing!
My personal favorite is cheesecake -- anytime, anywhere -- but if it's a B-day cake it always tastes even sweeter :)
Happy early birthday !
+ maybe an early surprise :)
You won the Bonheur dress give-away at my blog! :)
Please email me your contact details (+ address etc) so I can forward on to Shabby Apple :)
they are all so perfect, i wouldn't want to eat them! i love homemade the best, with lots of fruit! :)
that princess cake is KILLING ME! i love it!
my birthday is this month, too! whee!
you can never go wrong with any miette cake! their stuff is so good...
Miette's! So, so good!
I am more of a cupcake person myself, I love getting birthday cupcakes!
Happy birthday month;) I love these addorable cakes! Since I love chocolate I go for that:)
