Son's Birthday cake

It has been so long since my last update on my blog. I am so sorry to all my lovely followers as well as my kind visitors that take their value time to stop by .. sorry for not being there updating my blog. I have been on a holidays, far from where i live right now. Back to my dearest country i missed so much. I have spend most of my time over there, half of the world away, from cold to hot, eating and eating and eating.. not so interesting i know .. It's just because i love the food from my country so much that i try to catch up what i missed from the whole year back. As the result, i gain LOTS of weight. No complaining!

I still didn't have a chance to bake any sweet as i (as well as my whole family :D) have to lose (6 kg!) some weights. So, i will simply just share you the pictures of Birthday Cake that i make for my family last year. Interesting? :D

This one is my son's 3rd Birthday cake. Yes, easy to guess that he must like spider man so much he wanted to eat him :D
