Just a few days into 2015, I find myself already planning for my 21st Birthday. I really want it to be a great party for everyone but I can't seem to find a perfect location. Anyways, while browsing for birthday cakes, I came across some designs that suits the theme really well. I thought it would actually be very manageable for me to bake one myself.




Alas, I made a mess out of it. The thing about baking is, I already spent quite an amount of money on the ingredients and because some are a little too expensive, I went for the substitutes. Substitutes isn't the problem here. Problem is, I always change my recipe at the very last minute (because of the ingredients), like when I'm already shopping for the ingredients at FairPrice or Phoon Huat and ended up getting extra ingredients and even worse, missing out some of them. Pftttt. Even after I penned down a buying list, I still rely a lot on my mental list.







My cake turned out super super moist and I think it lacked a lot of cocoa taste mainly because I did not use Hershey's baking cocoa but instead, replaced it with Godiva's Hot Chocolate powder. They are absolutely not substitutes of each other. You can call this a fail cake that turns out to taste quite alright. All hail to the frosting and Strawberries.







Thinking of how I should settle my birthday cake. School's starting in a few days time. Dreading for the day to arrive but all shall be good! I will miss baking on random nights and waking up very late in the morning, slowly transferring and editing the photos in my room where morning light never cease to exist.

On the side note, I want to bring this blog back to life.
