I'll Have to Say I Love You on a Cake

But it was more than that, i don't even have the courage to draw a "heart" for Ric on our birthday cake as we took up the Design-It-Yourself, DIY cake at the Icing Room; in full view of the public!

Still, it was really great fun!!!

My Design for Ric: "Pooh Bear always with Me"

Being just a day apart, we always celebrate our birthdays together :D

A month back, i chanced upon a promotion for the DIY 6"inch Cake Combo at $13.90 from Groupon; kept the purchase from Ric and meant it as a surprise, planning we could each design half the cake for each other! But be warned that macho guys don't fancy such public display of affection; Ric took it up only after some nudging and my 'lips pouting' protest.

This was my theme (i thought of it just the night before) for Ric's part of the cake - Pooh Bear. Cos he had always been my comforting, lovey Pooh Bear with a pouching tummy for hugs ;)

Ric Design for Me: "Doggie in Blissful Garden"

Being a passive big guy, Ric remarkably drew hearts, flowers and dotted his designed garden with colorful blooms; selecting the puppy icing figurine for me and sang a loud birthday song addressing me as his "dearest Dada". Haha...

Blackforest Cake

Our jointly design cake took 30 mins to complete and was like our labour of love, tasting especially great :)

When at the Icing Room, remember to ask for Chocolate and Red colored piping bags from the design desk, because they aid your design composition and is especially delicious for cake toppings.

Much to Ric's horror though, i'm so looking forward to another occasion to doing more cake design... i've got such inspirations after our first try today! You know we could have more colors here and ... ... ...Heh!
