Wow. What a mouthful. This was a cake for the most loving, inspiring, intelligent and wisest man I have the privilege of knowing. There aren't many people on earth who are like him and I cherish every moment I get to spend with him. For his birthday, I decided to infuse Rooibos Chai in the frosting and Rooibos tea in the ganache—a tribute to his South African roots. Since the flavors are the star of the cake, I went with a simple and elegant look—with less frills—suited for a man with good taste. Friends, life is too short for beautiful moments (and too long for rough ones), so spend more time with the special people in your lives.
