"Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you... "

Velvet cake utk besday boy semalam... Terpaksa dua kali buat kek ni. Kek yg first buat tu warnanya jadi ke arah kaler pink. Red colouring yg beli dr kedai bakery tu jd kaler pink ler pulak.. ke depa ni salah letak label.. yg pink pi tempek label kaler merah. Kalau buat utk besday girl hentam je guna kek tu . Warna dia not bad cantik je.

Utk kek ke dua tu guna red colouring yg brand nona.. baru ler jadi betul2 merah.

Ini ler deco cake utk besday boy yg entah apa2. Haha tak kisahlah yang penting dia suka.

Ni ler kek yg mula-mula buat tu.  Abaikan benda2 yg bersepah2 kat belakang tu.. Ambik gambo ni lepas bekfes pagi tadi.. Lepas semua dah berangkat ke sekolah dan pi kerja.

Tengok dlm gambo ni tak nampak pulak kaler pink. Kalau yg betulnya memang nampak. Nak nak masa mula-mula siap bakar.
