Mama & Hassanah: Birthday

Ok now for the November birthdays, my mothers and my niece the 2nd sous chef of mine her 2nd birthday is right after my mother?s which was on the 9th and nieces on the 12th! I wanted to bake her birthday cake as well as my nieces. First to tackle mama?s cake, since I wanted to surprise her with the cake I made sure I told my sisters, brothers and sister-in-laws not to get a cake?usually we wish her at 12:00 am with flowers & cake that we did minus the cake?since all her grandchildren wanted to celebrate with her. so we planned a Hi-Tea.

Chocolate cake is her favorites, I chose a chocolate fudge cake and the colors are sea green and marine blue with tiny roses in white, pink and purple (roses are her favorite flowers) and silver degrees. It was a 4 layer cake with chocolate fudge filling. Since it was a surprise I could not bake the cake at home cause she always comes and check when she can smell something baking and takes it the second it?s out of the oven?I had to go to my sisters place for the backing and decorating?.baked the cakes on day one, layered it at night and finished the decoration in the morning so at tea time we could surprise her. Hiding the cake from her was the hardest part cause I never go to bake anywhere else nor do I spent more the 2 hrs in any other place so she was a bit suspicious and was after me all the time I got back?what were you doing at your sisters?..You never stay there more than an hr so what were you up to? Are you in some kind of trouble you can tell me?...hehe no matter what I said she was not convinced at all but when she saw the cake the surprised look and happiness on her face really made us happy and she loved the cake so did everyone else?and I got a extra BIG HUG from her which really was the best!! =)
