I love to bake cakes but frosting, glazing is something I avoid as I am not good at it! This was my first attempt at getting "creative" in June 2021. It was a cake that I baked for my mom's birthday and I ate it all! My mom is in Pakistan and she only got to see the pic. This cake always make me smile as it was featured last year in a baking calendar.
