HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR

It's been a while since I updated the blog. My...... my..... Seriously I can't follow the serious cooking bloggers. Hats off to them.. 

Yesterday on the 5th of March was my dear husband's birthday.. I made the red velvet cake. However I totally forgot the cream cheese frosting recipe I'd made before. Not satisfied with the end product of it. So I covered the cake thinly with the frosting since I don't have much time to redo it. The cake was marvellous. Love the red velvet sooooo much!

Happy birthday dear.
