One step closer to death

There's many different ways to look at a birthday, to me, it's one step closer to death. 

Gateau house cakes are probably the closest thing in New Zealand to my favourite Hong Kong/China bakery cakes, even though the price tag attached to the cakes are horrendously over-priced , the cakes are absolutely amazing and you're definitely getting your money's worth. If you can afford to splurge on a cake, I recommend the ones from Gateau house as they really are 'the home of excellence'. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

 

This is their fresh cream gateau - 01 cake I received as my present for my 20th birthday earlier this year. The price for this cake ranges from $46 for a standard sized one to $260 for an XXXL 2-tiered sized one. According to my ex, it costed $70 which would make this one the large size.

This cake is described as :

Three layers of delicate sponge filled with mixed fruits and fresh cream. Decorated with swirls of fresh orange liqueur cream and topped with seasonal fruit

From what I remember, the cake had pears or peaches in between the layers of sponge and cream. Excuse the bad photo, I don't have any cake cutting grace.

 
To end this post, an ugly picture of me to show that nothing remains 'beautiful'. After all, this is the result of an argument, waterworks, karaoke, alcohol, bitches and a shitty birthday.

Happy 2012 guys, only 4 and a half months to go before it's 2013. Make the most of it, I mean, "YOLO" right?
