Just over an year ago, I was so scared of baking that I hardly baked anything, even for the blog. It was something I wanted to learn and perfect my skills before putting anything on the blog. I even decided to take baking classes at one point of time.
But my friends and family encouraged me that I am already at a level where I can pull it Imyself. So, after one year, here we are, baking some exotic cakes in my tiny oven.
Why I am telling you this? Because if I can do this, there is no reason you can’t. Try it, you will get there in second or third try if not first.
You will find the step by step instructions for the recipe below.I hope you like this one as well.
