Yeh!!!! Today is my Birthday and I am so happy. My dear Hubby and dear girl surprised me with this beautiful cake. This is the first cake they made together, all the way from scratch. Needless to say, it was Yummy. Though I gave the recipe,  they managed to make it without my help and decorate beautifully to surprise me.
