Almost without my account with this recipe we celebrate the three years of the blog. If someone had told me that one day of January 2012, when I decided to create a blog, who three years later would be celebrating its anniversary with all what it has behind him, not you would have believed it, for anything... ever.

And yet here we are, three years later with the same enthusiasm that one day of January 2012, but much happier. It is very difficult to express with words what I feel, but it can be probably summed up in one word: gratitude. For all that you suppose to me, for following me from the beginning or from a minute ago, for writing those comments so beautiful to me or correcting me when needed, for giving me your sweetheart and encourage continuously. Without you this blog would not make sense because it would be dead. For more than you may want to work or to transmit, no matter your effort, if on the other side there is none, there is not a mountain of people willing to interact, the effort is useless.

So today I want to thank all of you who have believed in me, who have supported me in some way, who have encouraged me. Thanks to my sufferings at home, and my followers from around the world. To celebrate this today I bring a birthday cake and I'm going to blow the candles: a cake with marzipan aroma, with coulis of strawberries and mascarpone cream filling with Strawberries. A super cake to celebrate this special day with you.

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f / 175 C.
