  • How to make cake flour : Take 1.5 cups of maida , remove 3 tbsp of the maida and add 3 tbsp of cornflour.

  • Pour this mixture into 2 , 23 cm greased and lined cake tins and bake for 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 165℃. Rest them.

  • Now add the vanilla extract and the cream, whisk till you have smooth consistency.
  • Divide the frosting into 2 parts, mix the pink and blue gel colours into both respectively.
  • Assembly :I have sprinkled some sugar water (any juice also can be used) on the cakes after de-moulding them so that they remain moist.
  • Frost one of the cakes with blue coloured frosting, place the other cake on top.Cover the entire cake with blue frosting. Pipe flowers with the pink frosting using a nozzle and piping bag.
