26 September 2006 - Baking birthday cake for baby's daddy


In the morning went for gynae checkup. Lied to my husband that i want to eat strawberry and so we went to the fruit shop @ mount E to buy a box of strawberry. Wanted to get blueberry and raspberry but the shop only ordered one box for someone. So bo pian, only managed to get the strawberry. After the gynae checkup, went home and sent my husband off for work. Quickly i went online to copy down the recipe from hersheys.com. While baking the cake, i realised i lacked icing sugar. So bo pian had to go to IMM to get it. Bought prune juice (cannot output recently), icing sugar and a pair of imitation croc slippers (in bright pink) @ $9.90 because my slippers (bought from Japan @ SDG$75 from my twin sis) was stolen as i placed it outside my house. Rushed back home as i set my cake to bake for an hour which actually according to the recipe only needs to bake for 30-35mins...the moment i opened the door i could smell the chocolate cake aroma. Luckily the cake wasn't burnt. I finished making the cake and frosting by 4pm and quickily took a nap. Woke up @ 5.30pm and quickily spread the frosting over the cake and decorated it with huge strawberry and kept it in the vegetable compartment of the fridge so that my husband would not see it. Came back after having dinner @ mother-in-law place and i took out the cake around 10.30pm with candled lit up. My husband was surprised to see the birthday cake (his birthday is on 28 September but i only have today to bake it). I took pictures of him in pyjamas cutting the cake...very cute (cannot share the pix...personal viewing only hahaha). The birthday cake is a success =), my husband likes the cake...yummy.
