Dance and Beach theme cake

It's been a long overdue since I posted anything in my blog. Finally posting pictures of the cake which I baked in November. Theme of the cake - "Interests" Birthday girls's interests are captured in the cake. All the items on the cake are edible except umbrella. Thanks to my friend for all the help and a great idea of decorating the tier with song with musical notes. With the limited knowledge about music I decorated bottom tier with musical notes (without the lines.) of one song thinking everyone can depict the song. But we were wrong. It seems no one can read musical notes without the lines :( Lesson learned but we were super happy that we could make them read the moment we asked them to see the difference of height and imagine invisible lines :) Overall everyone loved the concept and the creativity.

I was surprised to know that it is very easy to make. It just took me 20 mts to make this recipe. So try this delicious and nutritious sweet. Ingredients: 1 cup of...
