This cake was made on the day when my friends and I had gatherings. It was also the day when my friend Rick and his girlfriend announced that they are going to get married this coming November 8 of this year.

This is also the first time that they taste my newly found way of making icing and the filling I put in the cake. I was so happy with the comments I received from my friends.

LOL... I named this cake as a friendship cake... even though, this was done in a hurry but I baked and decorated it with all my heart.

Happy Birthday to My dearest Friend Sarah

Sarah is one of my friend here in Montreal, I know her when I went back to high school at PACC. She is a very nice, kind and caring woman who sometimes taking care of my children when they stayed home. To make my story short, when we moved to our new apartment, we hardly talked to each other because of the works she have and I am also busy with my studies.

Three days before her birthday, I decided to make a surprise birthday party for her. It was not really big celebration but I prepared some foods aside from the cake I bake and decorated. 

April 28 2014, Sunday I know that it was her day-off so I called her at around 11:00 a.m. I asked if she has something to do that day. She said "No". I invited her to come to our apartment because I told her that my children already missed her and I want her also to meet my new born baby. What she doesn't know that I made special for her to celebrate her birthday.

When she came I told her to go straight to the kitchen, she sat down. She didn't surprise that there was foods on the table because she knows I always cook. Then, I told her that we made something special for her birthday. 

We begun to eat and chatted, we laugh and so on. Then, I said, closed your eyes while I got up to get the cake I prepared for her. When, we started to sing a birthday song, she opened her eyes and saw the cake I made for her. She was teary eyed and said "Thank you very much, but you shouldn't do this, you should not spent to buy cake for me." I told her that I did not bought the cake I bake and decorated it by myself.

Her reaction was priceless. "Weehhhh" she said. "Now this time you lied, I do not believe you because I know you for two years and I did not see you bake and decorate cake." These were the words she said. I simply smiled and told her that everything we learn if we are eager and patience to learn it. I, myself did not expect to learn in decorating cake but I did it for the sake of my daughter who believe that people can do things in life. I need to learn to let them see and believe that in the future for her life there is nothing impossible.

It was requested by my daughter to bake her favorite Mochacake with the chrysanthemum flower on top. This was 6 inches by 3 inches. This design was part of my practice in decorating cake. It was a little bit tricky in holding the icing bag and in applying the pressure on it. However, if we have patience and determined to pursue nothing is really impossible. Just trust in yourself that you could do it.

Decorating cake before was just a dream and I thought, it will remained as part of my fantasy. Yes! I am a dreamer. I dreamed to bake and decorate cake particularly icing flowers and this was it! This was one of my cute and simple flower design.

Thanks to my daughter who believes that I have the ability to learn new things. My daughter is one of my biggest fan who always trust and think that everything in this world is always possible.

So far, it was another best practice. My daughter was really ecstatic with the outcome. She told me that it was like a real flower. I really love how she reacted, LOL!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
