Red Velvet Cake...Very velvety....

Talking about Red Velvet........ it's everyone's favourites now. It's like a trend, just like cupcakes, it was so popular at one time...but now macaroons is making it's way.
Forget about it! Janji rasanya Yummy...!!! I learned making this cake from my baking 'Guru' hehehehe Cik Nurul....big clap for her. I love the colour and also the texture is sooooo nice and soft. We decided not to use cheese topping, we used creamy frosting instead. Woww....memang sedap!
Dah lama tak update blog coz sibuk baru nak belajar photography. Maybe one day the photo in this blog will be better i hope.Hehehehe...berangan lah tu!!!! Here are some of the photo i took last Saturday with a group of professional photographer in Klang's Little India.
