Arhan's Ark!

A welcome cake for my nephew.. Yeah, celebrating Arhan's arrival in India and our first meeting with him.. So baked a chocolate cake for him...








The decorations of the cake have been done with fondant. My sister (Arhan's Mom) was overjoyed to see it .... Love you sis..

    Thanks Swati.. I will put in my best even in the future and live up to your expectations.

    Hey Aparna,
