It was dear Mariyam's birthday yesterday. Shuv and I planned a surprise for her. We've all discussed about going for Yo! Sushi but on top of that, we've decided to bake her a cake. A few days prior to her birthday, I found out that she likes chocolate cakes and so that's what we did.
Shuv and I baked the cake on Tuesday evening. It was a fun thing to do! We also wanted to make brownies but there were not enough baking chocolate left. And I learnt it the hard way that normal eating chocolate are not suitable for baking :p Shuv also got her a pretty necklace, which I thought goes well with her. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it :(
The first thing we did was concoct a story to make her come up to my place, where the cake was. I told her I needed to show her which dress I would be wearing for the party on Friday and we all came into my room. Then I went out to prepare the surprise cake.
Mariyam caught in surprise :D
The candle went off when I was singing "Happy Birthday" so we did it again in the kitchen :p
Fuh~
The cake just came out fresh from the refrigerator so it was a bit hard to cut
Still cutting...It's not a big cake, just perfect for 4 of us.
Shuv decorated it with colourful sprinklers. Can you see the "M"?
The necklace (sorry for the poor quality, I cropped it from the group pic below). It's really pretty.
This is what I call colour coordination: red, white and black. ^_^
