Hubby and kid are not too much of coffee lovers, but after the first spoonful there was no stopping....they washed off half the cake. <br />Coming to the decoration part, it wasn't bad for a first trial. I was scared to whip the cream too long so it was a little soft and the swirls were not clearly visible. <br />Thanks for the lovely recipe :)<br /><br />Cake gel and fondant next up for experimenting...and all the credit for my daringness goes to your blog.

Have this on my mind for baking this wknd. I have couple quick Qs - 1. Just double checking if the sponge does not require butter or baking soda or baking powder? 2. Should I add the coffee powder to the cream and then start the whipping process? <br />Trying my hands at cake decoration for the first time...butterflies in my stomach..totally nervous ! <br />Thanks so much !<br /><br />ShriShrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-4618202841806546952010-04-19T00:48:26.556+05:302010-04-19T00:48:26.556+05:30Looks extraordianry, splendid creation.Looks extraordianry, splendid creation.Malar Gandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586988066440083113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-85209784191363225022010-04-18T19:49:24.254+05:302010-04-18T19:49:24.254+05:30yummy looking cake for sure! yr son must have been...yummy looking cake for sure! yr son must have been so happy!Aparna S Mallyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366918707387955566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-46292750281163484882010-04-18T19:48:52.750+05:302010-04-18T19:48:52.750+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Aparna S Mallyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366918707387955566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-72126942028815641412010-04-16T21:59:10.446+05:302010-04-16T21:59:10.446+05:30Perfect icing cake!Perfect icing cake!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983455890138961433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390649073617163124.post-40099848709260626152010-04-16T02:04:19.875+05:302010-04-16T02:04:19.875+05:30Suma, I was thinking of trying this sometime...
