Another Birthday cake for my mom? Yeah.. the previous was made last saturday, and was eaten without her cutting as we wanted to give mom a surprise celebration on today (which is the Actual day)
All goes according to plan as mom was kept in the dark until the caterior set up the food at her place.
How can such celebration goes without a proper cake?
Hence, I have made this cake last night.. without the top design as my highest container can only carry up to this height (abt 7")
Here's the design made in hurry as I was 1 hours late (I travelled from Suntec to Jurong, by bus)! I had asked my hubby to fetch the kids and the cake from home, together with my pre-prepared ingredients and tools.
This is the most successful cake I have made so far!
Here's how I made the cake:
