Just when I thought the holiday festive season ,new year bash got over,what next came to my mind.Too late did I realize its Valentine’s Day around the corner.It might be just another day for few but there are still a many like me who would like to celebrate it in their own sweet way.Needless to say chocolates,cakes and gifts are a customary part of this special day.Nothing can be more satisfying than doing/making things for our loved ones with a personal touch. I have decided to host Bake – a -Cake event this month.I am hopeful that this event is going to bring about the best baking minds together. To keep up with the spirit of the season how about a cake with a Valentine’s day theme? Here are the rules
- Bake any cake with Valentine’s day as a theme.For eg – Heart shaped cakes,or any other shapes round,square,bundt or anything,chocolate or strawberry based etc.These are just examples,you can cup with anything that suits you.
- Everything needs to be baked from scratch. No ready made cake mix allowed.
- Post it about in your blog between now and 27 Feb 2010 ,CST.Entries must be in English.Please ensure to link it to this post as well.
- No earlier posts allowed. The cake needs to be baked for this event,though you are allowed to share with any other blog events.
