Ruffle Green Velvet Cake - Wedding Anniversary Special !

3285 days of togetherness! Time runs :)

Always wanted to try bake a red velvet cake with ombre ruffle decor , and no great day than this to try this out. I didn't have red color in handy so used green color to give it a twist to the Red Velvet Cake. Quite satisfied with the first time ruffle and absolutely loved doing this cake! (couldn't do the ombre way though...soon may be? )




Will post the recipe soon!

Maybe should simply call it a snack.This is a super easy recipe and if you have your little one at home, involve him/her to help you roll out the cookies for you, yes, it's's that easy. Moreover, it's a healthy recipe as this is minus egg, sugar and flour, isn't sounds healthy and wow?

 I am not a big fan of oats,but knowing its nutritional benefits, I wanted to try if I can fall in love with oats :P and yes, it did! Before baking this cookie my Mr.Perfect told that it will end up on him to finish the cookies as he was sure I will not even taste the oats cookie.
