Birthday Treat

The husband grew one year older. His request for his birthday was to have a fruit glazed cake. Yes, a birthday cake!

Err... that request sort of got me into thinking if I can really make a birthday cake. Jeeze... what a test the husband has set me.

Oh well, being the DDA who boasts herself for being rather resourceful and creative, I set myself about to find a recipe. No, I didn't go about doing it the old fashioned way - call my mum or aunts up for a cake recipe. Hee hee, nowadays Google is the next best thing when you live miles away from your nearest relatives and closer network of friends. Truth is, the first thing that came to mind when I needed a recipe and plan for a birthday cake, the instinctive thing was to google it up!

Thinking about it, technology is taking over human relations!!! AAAAHHHHHHH... oh well, life goes on.

So here is the cake making process and the final product.


I was rather pleased that the cake came out not only looking all right, but also edible. But of course, there is still loads of room for improvement. As the saying goes - practice makes perfect.

*Psst* (in a whisper) - this is not the most perfect cake in fact. Why? Oh well... there's a little trick to it. If you're curious about this, I'll post the cheat sheet recipe on Keittokirja.
