Last week during swiming class Advay's friend started crying so to console her I told her that I gonna bake a cake for her the next class ,I asked her whether she likes blueberries she said no aunty I dont like blueberries,I like strawberry I said okay will bake the same .
Advay who was listening to our conversation said that Mummy you can't bake starwberry cake because you are not a chef :( I was like okay we will see...

Come wednesday I searched for recipe on the internet and zeroed in for a particular recipe from the internet 

Advay comes back from school and sees the cake ,

Advay -"Mummy you have baked cake for her not for me ."

Me" but you guys can share this cake. "

If I had a girl,....

If I had a girl ,this is the cake
which I would bake for her special day.

Maybe some two decades back
this is the cake which i would
love to cut on my  birthday.

But just because I don't have a girl
or that I am three decades old
it didn't deter me to bake and decorate

this pinkilicious chocolate cake ,
as this one is for a sweet little girl
of my friend,..

thus, I had a wish   to bake and decorate
something like this for a sweet little  girl
and I am so glad that
I could do,......:-)

I baked this eggless chocolate cake for my friends daughter
iced it with strawberry butter cream  icing
and then deocrtaed with sprinkles,edible silver ball and pink pearl balls.
recipe of the cake is blogged here 
recipe of icing inspired from joy the baker and blogged here
replaced the vanilla essence with strawberry essence and add few drops of pink colour.
with the same  cake as base decorated as Angry Bird Cake 
blogged here and here .
