Since it was my daughter's birthday so I planned to gihe her a surprice!!. Although makeup themed cakes are very common Zuha being a makeup freak I wouldn't have thought of doing any other theme. Through this cake I wanted to deliver a msg to her that it's really important to keep a balance between your studies and passion #EidKiMeethas.
