1st Birthday Party! (+ giveaway)

Yeaaay! 1 year blogging!

September is one of my favourite months of the year, and it is now even more special.

1 year ago by this time I was writing the first words in this blog. I wasn't sure where this would get to, I just knew how much I wanted to have this place in the Internet, a place of my own. Something that represents me, a place where I could express myself and feel proud of. It would eventually come to the moment when someone else was reading my words, and it felt so great I decided to keep going.

All you bloggers who happen to be reading this words might know as much as me how difficult it is to keep your space going and growing. Some times were difficult, I thought maybe it would come to an end, maybe it wasn't worth it. But it got better, and it's still up!

In the meanwhile both name and theme changed. It started making more sense to me. And the love went on and on and on...

Sunday is Cake Day! #9

Mnhum mnham everyone!

This week I baked a very special cake as it was Habibi's 23rd birthday on the 22nd of April.
He didn't want to celebrate, but I forced convinced him to do so.

I baked this amazing chocolate cake (remember my first cake? Yap, the same recipe) and made the usual buttercream, with a tiny difference - I turned it completely white without losing the good flavour. The secret? Adding a tiny bit of purple food colouring to it as purple and yellow are complementary colours. The purple will cut the effect of the yellow, making it whiter. Don't expect pure white, expect the whiter you can get in this case.

As he said he liked grey, I tried to decorate it in a neutral way, adding some grey details to it.
Also I had only 2 days (3 hours per day, after work) to make this, so 1st day to bake and 2nd day for the decoration.

Follow with the pictures bellow and I'll see you next Sunday!
