Love and Lots of Sugar

I'm an American cake decorator and photography enthusiast, living in Japan. I like to bake things and go places and take lots of pictures.
This is a classic from a few years back; I made these cakes for a Hail & Farewell party at my husband’s command.  Kassy (I didn’t realize until YEARS later that I’d spelled her name wrong) was transferring to Italy; Jim came to Japan (about a year before we did). FYI, Jim was, and is, a dear family friend. I cooked his wife’s first “real American Thanksgiving” (holy hell, no pressure there, right?), and he gave my older son his first set of drumsticks.  So the “we don’t give a f*** about you” vibe of the cake is all in good fun. The Cassie cake was the first time I ever tried a tiramisu-inspired layer cake; and the Jim cake was the first time I hit upon the formula for The Perfect Chocolate Cake.   Mmmm…tiramisu…nobody ever orders it, but I make it for myself every year on my birthday.  Because TIRAMISU.  Kahlua and cream cheese, y’all.
