The Birthday Cake

Was my birthday gift to the 3 years old daughter of my friend. It was just an orange chiffon cake and as always delicious. I love making cakes as you might know. The birthday celebration was fun and we (my friends and I) helped the celebrants‘ mother in cooking and decorating the house while one of our friends was babysitting her somewhere so it was a surprise birthday party for the girl. I heard it was the first time she celebrated her birthday with her mothers‘ Filipina friends. That girl enjoyed the party a lot. So do I and my friends. Anyway, I am back again after a few days away from Mylot. I hope you all well. Thanks for reading.

@thelme55 I love the Filipino food that I have had. I plan on cooking it when we head north. I have been collecting some recipes.

That cake looks amazing. That's very clever using two-colour icing. The little girl would have been thrilled with her party.

I was thinking how to decorate the cake for a girl and I combined the white butter icing and the pink coloured butter icing. She was indeed very thrilled looking at the decorations with balloons and the cake. She happily blew the lighted candles. Thank you @JudyEv. Have a nice day.

Young children are thrilled at the attention they get during their birthdays. I am sure there were lots of songs to add gaiety to the happy occasion. Cake is the essential part of birthday celebrations and It looks delicious.
