Heart-Shaped Chocolate Ice Cream Cake - With a Smile

 We're having a birthday party-free year here at our red house, but that does not mean for a moment that we are not celebrating birthdays.

Yesterday my daughter turned 14 and today she celebrated by inviting a friend over for dinner, some DVDs and a sleepover.  As usual for my summer baby, the cake was a home-made ice cream cake (recipe here).  Miss 14 made the filling and I decorated with sweetened chocolate-flavoured whipped cream.  She asked for a smiley face to decorate and it suited her bright personality perfectly.

Happy birthday beautiful girl!
