Classic Black Forest Gateau,Happy Birthday to Me

I have been desperately craving for a Real Classic Black forest cake recently.what I mean classic? its got to be full of kirsch soak Genoise, layers of rich Valhorna chocolate mousse, "Fabri" syrup soak black cherries embeded on whipped cream, topped with lots of pipe whipp cream with stem cherries , this is what I pronounced as Classic Black Forest.

Are you willing to pay for S$7.50 for a slice of store bought black forest cake mainly filled with fresh whipped cream, NO ! I DON'T

My second attempt Birthday cake for another member in our sewing group ,Yvonne Mccormick from England. I thought I could save some time by utilizing store bought sponge finger, guess I will have to start from scratch next round cos the taste of the ready made sponge finger is rather disappointed and the gap in between does affect the whole appearance.

1st Birthday Cake Bake for My daughter

Though this is my second Birthday cake this month, but is the first birthday cake bake by myself for my daughter's 6th birthday, Owing to my poor photographic skill, pic didnt' turn out well due to lack of flash light, got to work hard on that !
Didn't have anything in mind on dressing up the cake, just wanted a 2 tier cakes for her - in pink, so as it go along,
I came out with this ,something familiar that appears on "Strawberry short cake" series .
