I wasn't prepared to post this Strawberry Cake..... must be bored of me keep making Strawberry Cake lately. But anyway, still put it up to my blog here.
I loves the colour of this cake, rose red. I was so impressed when I saw Grace post this Rose Bouquet Strawberry Birthday cake; of the piping out the rose frosting. So beautiful. Wish I can do that.....
Well, I just make it simple frosting on my cake.
