This cream and pink round shaped cake was made for my quran teacher as a gift for being the best teacher I've had in saudi. Her name is written on the cake, in arabic. She really loved it.
The heart shaped was made when my 4 year old insisted his teacher has to get a cake too...
My first basket-weave cake! made for my friend's neighbour who is a teacher in a girls school and she needed a cake to take for her aflah (party)
