Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary

3 years back this day, we walked down the aisle, holding our hands, saying "I do".

3 years flew by in a blink of eye and we have got a 1 and 1/2 year old kid celebrating our anniversary with us!!

No fanciful dinner. Just a simple chocolate cake that I steamed to celebrate the occasion.


Oh yes.. there are gifts.. very special gifts making its way back from Europe soon :)

Happy anniversary dear hubby!! May our marriage be full of love & happiness & forever everlasting!!

Yes... I made it!

Finally I tried my hands in making a charlotte cake.




When I first saw this cake, I was very impress by the outer ring of lady fingers (sponge fingers). It just make the cake looks more elegant and very girly. With all the fruits & everything, it looks so delish... After some research, I realise that this is a very very simple to do cake. Just have to get all the neccessary ingredients and assemble them up.








So i being to search for a easy & fool proof recipe of baking a sponge cake as a base.













Slice the cake into 2 layers (or 3 layers if you want)




Spread some fresh whipped cream one layer (cut layer face down)
Place fruits on top (better to cube the fruits for easy cutting of the whole cake)





Spread another layer of fresh whipped cream





Place the next layer of cake ontop (cut layer face up)





Frost the whole cake with fresh whipped cream






Place lady fingers around the side of the cake






Top the cake with fruits and it's all done.. easy right??






If you like, you can tie a ribbon around. This also helps to secure the lady fingers around the cake
