Pink Velvet Cake

This morning, I'm planning to make ''Red Velvet Cake", my favorite cake. I got the cream cheese and red velvet cupcake from my elder cousin that is really good at making cake.

I started making the mixture of the cake, and everything goes alright until the step of buttermilk, I did something wrong and I thought everything gonna messed up. But my mum told me to stay calm and keep going, and I did what my mum said.

The result was excellent and I was really satisfied about it. Although when I saw the result it wasn't red, its pink! and I'm not really worried about it. The pink made it cute:-)

I was planning to make it for break-fasting together in Consulate General of Republic Indonesia or we call it KJRI, but the weather isn't really good so my dad said we couldn't get there. After we discuss it, we decided to break-fasting at home and my cake was for my family~
