This has been an amazingly and beautiful week. The weather was constantly great, and the orders from you lovelies just keep coming, booking me solid for the entire month

My mother was craving cake. A fruity cake to be precise and I had to be quick about it.

The beauty of this passion cake is that it incorporates both the fruit and the Passion flavour, which smells beyond amazing. The fruits make the cake extra moist and when mixed with the milk, they add a beautiful somewhat tangy flavour to the cake. The Passion flavour brings out the fruit flavour more and gives an absolutely beautiful aroma to the cake and house in general.
