****** Hubby's Birthday Cake *******

Hubby's Birthday Cake *

I found my passion for cooking after I got married.. :) And it was only then that I came to know how much I loved baking too ... So much that I was always yearning to go for baking lessons.

It was early feb when this idea got to me. I was thinking what to do for hubby's bday. I wanted to bake him a beautiful cake for sure. Thats when I thought why not join for cake decoration lessons and bake a nice lil' cake for him. And tada. Thats what I did. I enrolled for the Wilton Cake Decorating basic course and baked this lil' cake for him.. I baked a chocolate cake first and covered it with buttercream icing. Mixed colors and used piping to decorate :)

He totally loved it :) So did I..
