Birthday Cake for Papah

February 13th has special meaning to me because it happens to be my Papa birthday. But, this cake wasn't for my Papa. Mbak Ita, one of NCC-ers ordered this cake for her father-in-law who live in Tabanan-Bali.
Her choice fell into Valentine Cake with Roses but she changed into fewer roses for her father-in-law....

Hope you will like it Mbak Ita like your parents-in-law did.

Happy Birthday To Bapak Tu Aji and My dearest Papa
God bless You!!!
