Birthday Bonanza

This weekend was my sister's 30th and I had the task of making the cake, something I eagerly volunteered for - planning it had kept me occupied in many a dull lecture over the past few months!  Like myself, my sister adores passion fruit so that was the basis of the main cake, and for a bit of extra fun I did some indulgent millionaires shortbread.  It was a lot of fun to do and the plates were cleared fairly quickly, which is always an encouraging sign :)


The main event; passion fruit chiffon cake with a passion fruit cream filling (a recipe I hadn't tried before, tasty but I think I prefer a more traditional english sponge mix - if I did it again I'd use the passion fruit cupcake recipe from Susannah Blake's cupcake book, it's delicious)

Millionaire's shortbread 'cupcakes'; I made them individually in a deep muffin tin
