My friend loves cream frosting more so i layered the cake into four if you don’t like more frosting you can make it into 2 and proceed with deco.This is how it looks inside.Do try this recipe,the taste of this cake is really yummy.

Have a nice day!!!

  64. First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.

    I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
    wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Thank you!
