An elaborate attempt
It was K's birthday yesterday, but being the procastinator I am... I have but shambled plans here and there! Lots of ideas, but little has been done... Until today! Why? Because he is at camp, and hence I have more time for the conspiracy! I think I only work efficiently under stress! Haha!
So, I finally baked/made/roast/ (and some even say FRY/Deep Fry!) his birthday cake! It is NOT a crab, prawn or fish cake by Maryland!! It's a sponge cake filled with fruits and whipped cream cheese topping.
Anyway, mummy helped me with it and we had a whole load of fun! Haha!
Here are the step-by-step processes...
1) Bake the cake. And slice it. Don't underestimate this step. This is the most complicated step if you have a blunt knife! And poor cutting skills! But in any case, you can always camouflage your tardiness with whipped cream! *grin*
2) These were the amount of strawberries I had planned to stuff into the cake! How generous! Or greedy. Haha!
3) Anyway, less than 1/3 of it got piled onto the first layer of the cake.
4) This was topped up with peaches to add some softness, some sweetness and a different flavour to it.
5) And then, the top half of the cake was stacked onto the bottom half to give rise to a hamburger!! I was so excited!! *gleeful*
6) Lastly, the snowy effect was achieved. Before we decided to be more lavish and give it more "oomph" with more peaches.
There! The finshed product of our labour. It is now freezing in the fridge.
I have yet to name it. Any suggestions anyone??
