Birthday!


The last time i baked a proper cake, complete with fresh cream and decoration was a year ago, which was for my sons' birthday.

Now that i'm baking a proper cake again after 1 year hiatus, is also for the same reason. And i think the next time round would be next year, for my baby's 1st birthday! Lol.

Frankly, i don't quite fancy decorating my cakes with cream etc.

i- to save on the calories
ii- to save cost
iii- to save time

Kekeke.

Anyway, below is this year's birthday cake for Shuoze :)


Pic taken on the night i made it


Pic taken the next morning. Argh, didn't know M&M's colour were gonna run and stain the cake this badly :(


I almost killed myself for smudging the side, not once but twice during decoration. I couldn't touch up/repair because the fresh cream was all used up. I'm such a klutz sometimes.. or rather, most of the time :P

Luckily, the birthday boy was too thrilled with the cars to noticed the smudged cake. Grin.

We celebrated the first birthday cake in school yesterday -- got brought forward coz next week is school holiday--. The next cake will be baked on Monday which is the real day, for celebration at in law's house.


Oh, didi is now in the same school as korkor already! Just started going this year :)


One happy family, minus the papa.. as always. Working *roll eyes*.. to earn more $$ for us actually. Hahaha :P

The brothers enjoying the cake, chocolate flavour- the birthday boy's favourite *wink*

wow, cute cake! your boys are real lucky to have home-baked birthday cake all the time :D

and don't worry about the smudges on the side, they look like the 2 toy cars rolled up the side of the cake to get to the cocoa powder track on top.
