labor of love..

from this

Ken's 2nd Birthday cake design

based on the 2 upper cakes, i design a simplified one on Word doc.. and it turns out to be..

Ken's 2nd birthday cake

ha ha.. far cry from ken's 1st birthday cake.. but this cake is a labor of love.. oh boy am i tired.. wonder how the bakery can frost their cake so well without any crumbs showing!! *sigh*.. guess that's what u pay them for.. for professional-looking cake!.. ah well, mabbe next time, when i hv more time, i will take up cake decorating lessons.. but for now, heh.. just eat it.. ke ke.. the quote below serves an an insipration.. ;)

my advice is that if you don't like the design that you've created on your frosted cake, serve it anyway and never apologize to your family or friends; remember it's always a labor of love, no matter how it turns out !!

H A P P Y 2nd B I R T H D A Y, K E N..

p.s1. seems like yesterday i just gave birth to him.. and, tomorrow, he's 2!!.. it's so fast.. where's my baby?! *waa..aaa..aaa*

p.s2. i baked this cake Dark Chocolate Cake I

p.s3. the shape of the cake is so weird cos i used my corningware pot to bake.. :P.. EM being the paranoid man he is disallow me to use aluminium bakeware and non-stick bakeware.. so, i can only use glass/stainless steel.. and i can't find a square stainless steel baking tin!! ah well, good thing my corningware can use to bake.

goat, ha ha.. trust me.. once ur gal is here, u will feel different.. mother instinct.. like by natural u just want to provide the best u can for ur bb.. as to aluminium.. dunno what high heat will react dunno what with batter.. trust me, if u can live with it, just ignore.. just that EM will "nag".. so i avoid buying aluminium pans.. heh.. see? know too much is not good.. eat/dun eat will also die.. so might as well eat and be merry? heh..
