TIPS TO DECORATE A BIRTHDAY CAKE
Birthdays are one of the most celebrated occasions for any person. It’s a time when friends, family members and close ones come together to spend time and celebrate.

One of the most important things for a birthday occasion is the cake for your loved one. If you’re a baking enthusiast or a complete novice (like myself but enjoys watching the Great British Bake Off!) making that cake yourself is the most satisfying and rewarding thing you can do.
