I was recently asked to make a cake for a grown up's birthday. Normally I make cakes for people much younger, or for special events like baby showers, Christmas and so forth. So I was a bit stumped. It wasn't an event birthday, like a twenty-first or fortieth. The guy in question isn't passionate about any hobbies. Nobody was forthcoming with any sort of theme, other than orange and poppy seed.
In the end, I decided on chocolate curls. Decorations don't come much simpler, and I think they add a nice touch to an otherwise plain cake. You can jazz them up with contrasting chocolate colours, but for an orange and poppy seed cake, I figured subtle was the way to go.
Here's how it turned out.
