Alhamdulillah …..My blog turns 10 today !!! Back in 2012 when I started, I never imagined that I could reach such a huge milestone. Trying new recipes and posting them here has become one of the things I am most passionate about. Although it has been a bumpy ride, I was able to reach this achievement with the constant support of my family. A huge shoutout to my brother Sabith, who is the backbone of this blog, inspiring me, constantly motivating me and making sure that everything runs smoothly.
Thank You everyone for all of your support through these years…

For decorating the cake:

3. Sprinkle icing sugar on top using a small strainer.
