Homemade Cake For Connect

I have been more active on connect than usual these days because I love it. It has become my hobby and way of relaxing. I enjoy the interaction and learning,I appreciate the different local guides and moderators. I enjoy the thrills and communications of this international community of local guides.

I made A poem for connect. I also arranged A customised ice-cream for connect, now what have I here again. A home made cake for connect !!! I am dedicating this entirely to connect, the moderators and my fellow local guides on the forum. Hip ! Hip !! Hip !!! Hurray.

I am a real foodie,though for a while now I haven’t been too active on the food and drink board. Now I had plans to bake a cake, homemade cake dedicated to connect just like my Poem and Ice-cream . This connect cake was baked at home,right at my residence and I was assisted by my little nephew and sister. It wasn’t too hard but it took the whole day anyway. Icing it and getting the real connect colour and shape was a job ! I did the baking yesterday and decided to share it today !!! Mind you this isn’t my first cake post on connect. I have also made A Pineapple head cake post . That’s a while ago now. Look it up and enjoy it if you like.

INGREDIENTS.

  • FLOUR
  • SUGAR
  • BUTTER
  • EGGS
  • BAKING POWDER
  • ICING
  • DECORATING
  • VANILLA AND STRAWBERRY FLAVOURS
  • ORANGE COLOURING
  • RAINBOW DECORATIONS
  • COCONUT

PROCESS

Just the normal cake making process and procedure. Therefore I will not bother you with that. Quantity does depend of course on the size of cake you want. I’ll tell you what I did extra was to add a little bit of coconut chips and pieces. I have the coconut tree here in my compound and there was a fresh one available.

THE TASTE.

Oh it was very yummy,fluffy and connecting. Wish I could share it live with you all but anyway…

Cheers

You are welcome my dear. Thanks for throwing in that bit about connect birthday next month. Glad I did this in advance,I’ll be way too busy to bake next month. I’m glad it’s featured on the food and drink category too. I did put in lots of effort and plan to make it come out like that.

The taste, oh my. It was sumptuous I tell you. I have a little piece left in the fridge. I could send that through what? Courier service or something to you !!! Hahaha.

Thanks for the nice comments and once more we appreciate you as a moderator.

Cheers

This is without a doubt the most amazing cake decoration I have seen on Connect.

@SholaIB I especially like the collage, which is not actually a collage, about the ingredients which you have meticulously laid out in several bowls

I am sure it tastes equally great as it appears a treat to the eyes :yum:

Hello @SP31

Thank you for such a great comment on my cake. I have seen some very nice cakes on connect though maybe nicer than mine. LOL. Well I am not saying it’s great but I am happy I did it. I have this plan for a good while.

Just doing all to keep connect lively and warm. It doesn’t only look delicious, it tastes delicious too :wink:

Thumbs up Shola

You did wonders here

You’re welcome @SholaIB

That’s so good that you could bake it in advance!

If only I could visit Nigeria directly, I could pick up the cake by myself. Sadly, it will take so much time to send the cake to Jakarta LOL :rofl:

So, do you like baking?

@Velvel

That’s a pity you can’t get tasting this cake but anyway that’s life! Lol Yes I seem to be taking a fancy to baking now. The process around it could be a bit messy though :yum: . It’s a new thing I seem to liking it now.

This past weekend I did Homemade-Cookies-for-Connect . That was easier though.

Nice to hear that you enjoy your new hobby @SholaIB

Do you believe that cooking or baking can release your stress? I do believe in it since I like cooking.

That’s another good baking from you. Well done!

@Velvel

Perhaps by the time you get very good at it and know where you are going with different recipes etc. It’s amazing what can be a nice distraction to us and relieve our stress.

Well I enjoyed it and to crown it all,the taste was so good. I did share it with some of my friends. That was the best part of the baking :rofl: .

Thank you for your interest in this cake and baking. I’ll keep trying more new things anyway.

Cheers
