I thought engagement cakes, like the first month ones, are supposed to be butter sponge cakes with pastel icing all over it!

[dieseldawn]

oh nooooo
i had no idea! i thought any cake will do!

[kopibren]

no lah, I think it was lack of tasteful supply. The point is to be yummy and happy!

Okay someone had to say it... so it may as well be me.

So... does your mum want to have her cake... and eat it too?

*Boom Boom*
