Doll House - Zucchini chocolate cake
I finally started to go through my hard drive. These pictures are from summer 2010 (couldn't skip though it is old) when I visited a friend's baby girl's first birthday party. A doll house was exclusively built for her, in their garden beside the lake. The doll house was extremely adorable, with little bed, dinning table, kitchen utensils, toys and chairs. Party was filled candies, chocolate, desserts and kids high on sugar. Those were the days when I was learning portraits, still learning, it is tough with kids, so it was a fun evening. The b'day girl was center of attraction, a social baby and she enjoyed her day completely. I had this cake at the party, I couldn't come out without asking for the recipe simply because it was delicious, later I paid back her mum with party pictures. Today is writers block day for me, it took more than one hour to write this (in state of shock to see pic untouched from 2009). I tweaked this recipe to my own choice, but unfortunately didn't note down the changes. So i'm giving you the original recipe, this makes a large portion, coffee table at work saved me, feel free to half it or just go by this! Happy baking!
