Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Frosting and Caramel Cinnamon Drip

Happy Holiday!!
It' s a long weekend here, 4 days due to 'red date'. Red date means holiday here in Indonesia. Everybody always look for red date when the first time they got their calendar in the beginning of the year so they can planned their holiday trip. And me (others too, obviously ) always looking forward for the red date, not for a trip this time, unfortunately. I started my holiday with this cake. All my favorite flavors in one cake ;vanilla, strawberry, cinnamon and caramel. How that sounds? I pretend to forget all about sugar and fat for this holiday. Just enjoy it with happily.

We rarely make such a big cake like this, sometimes only make one layer cake. But it is holiday, I have my sister and nieces visiting so large cake is a must since all the girls love cake so much. This cake might not look like much, well I did everything in a hurry. I decorated it in a hurry because there were already a lot of mouths that can not wait to taste it. Then, another wait cause I have to photographed it in another hurry, the rain suddenly started to fall and I already set to photograph outdoor. What a day!!
But spend time and eat together with family I think it was worth it with all the hectic. Once again happy holiday!!!
