Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

Daddy's birthday was on the 20 Dec.  The mom and son team had a discussion prior to that and had decided to bake a cake to celebrate this special occasion.  It took us hours to churn out the cake, from measuring of ingredients to ready to be shoved into the oven and finally the frosting part, our first time doing it and that was tough but somehow after patching and repatching struggling to even out the cream cheese frosting, finally it's done! Tadaa!!!  Our first bake together: Carrot and Walnut Cake with cream cheese frosting!

                             

As hours were spent on baking and dolling up the cake, that left me no time to cook up a storm for dinner.  As both small and big boys love fried rice, so fried rice it was for dinner! Heh! 

                             

     

We had our birthday song and cake cutting session later in the evening. The cake turned out moist and not too sweet and it was just nice washing down with a glass of homemade lemon juice!  Will surely bake this cake again soon as the whole family enjoyed eating it!
