After baking this cake I really got very confident in baking cakes and soon enough i will be posting some more cakes soon.....Now I really am enjoying baking but, cakes are so tempting and I have to watch myself not to gorge on them, I always had a soft corner for cakes.., cakes have always been my favourite, That too..... the pastries that is what they are called in Nilgiris in Bangalore are my favourite...., I love pineapple & honey cakes which they sell in the Bakeries in Bangalore.
O' let me stop at this....see you soon with more baking.....
