Me and Miko's first anniversary has came, gosh time goes by so fast. Its been a year already.
As you read in my former posts, we both had planned to bake a rainbow cake together at our 1st anniversary. Once he found the recipe, we both agree that he'll bring the butter while i provide the other ingredients for the cake. I asked him what time he'll come to my house and he replied "I'll head there around 12". It takes about 45 minutes from his house to mine, so i asuume that he'll arrive at my house around 1pm. But eventually, he showed up at 3 PM, left me almost crying waiting for him. It sucks when your boyfriend is 2 HOURS late on your 1st anniversary celebration.
But despite being pissed because his 'late-ness', everything was fun. He knocked at my window several times, and there, i saw him standing outside with his new maroon 'campus' jacket and his new tom ford spectacles. To be honest.. i was amazed. He looked really really fine that day. I waited for a moment then he came into my room, came across the bed where i was laying on and kissed me on the cheek "Happy anniversary" he said. I was about to give him the silent treatment for being late, but i always failed. I kissed him back on the cheek and replied "Happy anniversary, i love you too".

We started baking the cake at 7pm, while max is going tarawih, and Mom, Dante, and bude was shopping at the grocery. The recipe called for 1,5 cups of flour, and since i used a digital scale, i asked "How much is 1 cup of flour?" "225grams", he replied. While it was actually 140 grams. D'oh. Because of the wrong measurements, the batter turned out to be super sticky and heavy hahaha.
After that, we divided the batter into 5 in different bowls, and put different colorings in each bowl. This is where the fun starts! We keep on saying "Vibrant vibrant vibrant" in a funny way, and that he added so much coloring into the purple batter, it just made everything even funnier.
In doubt of the succesfullness of the cake, we keep moving on. We layered abstractly an 18 inch round pan with the colorful batters, switching colors. Also, during the process, i accidentally cutted my thumb with a knife and burnt my finger too -_-

Then about 45 minutes later we took the cake out of the oven and started laughing cause the cake was so hard and heavy hahaha! Despite of the failure it still looks nice though. So instead of making a new cake which will take a lot of time, we decided to make a glaze for the cake. I accidentally added too much vanilla essence into the glaze mixture so the smell was very very strong lol. We poured the glaze on top of the cake, then added some colorful sprinkles.
We brought the cake into my room and placed a small yellow candle in the middle of it. We lit the candle up, then before we blew the candle and sliced the cake, we took a picture with his polaroid camera. And also some pictures taken using his phone. He cutted a BIG slice of cake, and we could see the beautiful colors of the cake, we cant stop admiring it that i took about 6 pictures of the cake alone in various angles lol.

The rainbow cake |
The cake wasnt bad.. But not that good either, it was so hard and sweet and milky that we only managed to eat half of the slice. I packed a half of the cake for him to bring home, although i doubt that he'll eat that cake again lol
Not long after that we cuddled in bed talking about things while waiting for the taxi he ordered to come. Thenn.. he went home and thats all. It was fun, SO FUN that i couldn't stop smiling before going to sleep.
What can i say? I love you Miko :)
