Chrysthamum Wedding Anniversary Cake: May 2008

Dear inspirations, that's what i call you all my blogger friends ! The MBA examinations took me off the blog for a while but as you know, there is an ad which comes on the NDTV (oh ! yes, we are able to watch it here, too, in Botswana) which says 'the end of knowlege is love and the end of education is character' so while my passion for sugracraft is still a journey to perfection, when ever priority for education comes on front, i just snugly tuck my hobby for a while and try to concentrate on studies, as i have no control over the age which is passing by !

With examinations over, i made this cake quickly in two days for a friend's wedding anniversary. With winter setting in and chrysthamum and roses in bloom, i chose this theme for them. It was liked by them and i hope you all will also give me a slight pat for trying ! Well, there still much room for perfection and i will keep on practicing !

When i opened my blog, I was and still am overwhlemed with love and affection that you bestow upon me. Thank you so much for thinking of me this way !
feel that my blog is 'yummy'. Hey girls, i bow down like the gilrls do in school.Thank you !

She speaks of maintaining friendship so beautifully and talks of love and its betrayal so eloquently.
