My First Award and A Cake!!!

Hi Friends, I'm so happy to receive the first feathers in  my cap from Devi(http://fresherscookbook.blogspot.com/ ). Thanks a ton Devi for your kindness and encouragement.

Name 7 things people don't know about you.
Nominate 7 bloggers.

7 things people might not know about me:

1. Feel like I have conquered the whole world when someone comments, "You have lost weight!", and the more I lose the greedier I get.
2. A spoilsport in extreme weathers and i hate the winter.
3. At my best while shopping for clothes - my all time obsession.
4. A nocturnal when preoccupied with something creative.
5. Bring the entire place down yelling on confronting a spider. 
6. Breakfast with bhelpuri often, can have it round the clock for any number of days and never get tired of it. 
7. My Dream impossible - Fruits and fries swap places in the calorie chart and hence I indulge sinfully 24/7.

I would like to share these awards with

Sunitha and Namitha - http://cookingpals.blogspot.com/

And to share the joy I'm posting a cake which I made for my son's Birthday.  The party theme was space and hence and a space cake.  The rockets and the astronaut are made of sugarpaste and the cake is iced with fresh cream. It is a pineapple cake, moistened with rum and sugar syrup and layered with fresh cream and cherry filling .  The yellow sugar stars are storebought.  I was in such a pathetic state of mind at that time, with a lot of things to take care of,  forgot to put a birthday message with my son's name on the cake which was later done in a haste by my hubs dear just before cutting the cake.  It was his idea to put the message on a flag.  Missed a good click of the cake as well.

    I have fallen in love, with the cake that is! I so wanna make this for my son's birthday which is a good 8 months away..What a lovely theme!You are very very artistic.I am not much of a cake decorator. Is there a good book you would recommend? Seriously, after seeing your xmas and birthday cakes, i have gotten this urge to "Grow a bone" for decorating.Guess I will start with cupcakes and move up slowly.
    And, hey, congrats on your award(s).And nice to know a little about yourself. About the 7th thing, dream on!

    Cool lassie, yes there's a book I follow for the basic techniques. It's 'The International school of Sugarcraft' by Nicolas Lodge. There are 2 volumes. Beginners and Advanced. I've got both. Very narrative and helpful.
