HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your sweet daughter!!! The cake looks amazing and the "toy" I know you will enjoy a lot from now on!

Wish your daughter a happy happy birthday and may health and wisdom follow here everywhere she goes.
BTW, I've just ordered a KA from US. With 35% more power than the Artisan model, and only cost me 35% of what ARtisan is sold here. Will show you when it arrives in Oct :)
Happy Sweet 13 to your sweetie!
Rich & chocolatey cake, looks mouthwatering with the chocolate glaze and best of all, ferraro! She must be jumping in joy with such a lovely gift bake with love for her.
Love the colour of your new toy Sonia!
My hubby bought me a KenWood, but my heart always thinking of KitchenAid lol. Sonia, can share the price and place to get it?
many happy returns of the day to ur lovely daughter and the cake looks very chocolatee and mouth watering.
Happy Birthday to your daughter!
The chocolate cake looks very pretty and luxurious! Have some fun with your new kitchen gadget.
There is another adult in the house !
Happy Birthday !
So glad that what you wish to have is to be with you ,at last.
Happy birthday to your daughter! I am sure you are even more happy than her to receive your KA ;)
Happy birthday to your daughter! Heehee, once you started using your new toy, you will be hooked!! Now I cannot live without mine, I used it practically every bake which is almost everyday. Enjoy it!
So sweet of your husband! And red KA, nice colour ;)
Happy birthday to your daughter!
Sonia Happy Birthday to your daughter. So happy for you that you got your new toy. My husband encouraged me to buy it but I am stil considering, me neow (stingy) to spend on gadget hehehe.... The chocolate cake looks so delicious and deco with rocher, looks beautiful
Sonia,Happy birthday to your daughter..oh my....Sonia I nak jugak hehe.
Happy birthday to your daughter! The homemade cake on such a special day is the most memorable gift :)
Happy Birthday to your daughter!! :)
A teenager at last..... Happy Birthday.
That toy looks like fun, enjoy. Diane
Great looking chocolate cake. Looks rich and delicious. Ferrero Rocher for decoration is good as well.
Nice cake~ We like Ferrero Rocher too =]
Happy Birthday to your girl, Sonia! Great cake and good toy. Is KA better than Kenwood? You wouldn't believe it but my Kenwood has been serving me very well all these years, got it in the 70's, old model, Kenwood Chef. The motor broke down 2 years ago and I had it changed to a new computerised motor, repairs cost me 400 rgt. The lady at the repair centre advised me to have it repaired, because mine was direct from the UK, those days.
Happy birthday sweetie. Have a blessed one!
Congratulation Sonia! A red shinny toy. Looking forward more post assist by ur toy. Have fun playing :)
Fuat Gencal, Thanks for stopping by.
Nina, I'm sure I will enjoy this new toy, Thanks.
Wendy, good for you, since you bake a lot, you should buy a big powder of mixer.
Jessie, I heard Kenwood is not bad too. I will drop you an email about the details later ya.
Kitchen queen, Thanks for best wishes.
Angie, Thanks dear, I will definitely enjoy this new toy.
Bakeling, Thanks dear.
Happy Homebaker, hahaha, my daughter questioned my husband why I have a gift but she doesn't have one...
Bee Bee, yes yes, I will like you too,hehehe..
maamaemoomoo, Thanks for stopping by.
Jess, I also like you last time, think and think, but finally I decided to get one, in long run, it would not cost you much !! You deserve one unit of this since you like to bake..
cikmanggis, Thanks. if you want to get one, buy from SG, much cheaper.
the lacquer spoon. Thanks.
huikee and yoonlai, Thanks.
Diane, Thanks.
spoon and chopsticks, Thanks.
WyYv, Thanks.
Cheah, I think both also good, I have a lot of friends also using Kenwood. My SIL has a Kenwood and working well till now, easily 10 years++ old.
Jane, Thanks. Ya, finally I got mine, can't wait to try some of your recipes using this new toy.
Happy Sweet 13 to your daughter ^_^
Am currently looking for KA mixer as well, can email me the details as well? estherholy@hotmail.com
HAPPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER! She is blessed with a mum like you! Lucky girl to have a lovely birthday cake!
neyeeloh, ya, will let you know soon.
busygran, Thanks for your best wishes.
Happy Birthday to your daughter an awesome KA mixer.
To Wendy @ Table for 2..... or more, Sometimes it is nice to be humble and not to be a show off. For an educated human being, it is gracious to be happy for someone else's joy instead of flaunting with what you might or might not get. It's not nice of you to rain on Sonia's parade. Let her enjoy her new toy and not have to feel heartsick with your "I'm better than you" comment. I am sure that Sonia is not that ignorant to know that you can get cheaper in the US. This is not the first time I have noticed this attitude from you. Keep this up and you will be in the lepers colony.
BTW I do not know Sonia personally and have never met her, or left any comment in her blog before, but I felt I should stand up for her.
Kitchen Aid...!! I am jealous here ;)! The chocolate cake looks very yummy and I love Ferrero Rocher too, it's just my kind of cake, your lucky daughter! Btw, please wish her a happy B'day as well from me, if she doesn't find it too weird getting wishes from a stranger :).
Happy Birthday girl...
Wow, got new toys...waiting your next post...
Dear Sonia, congrats on your new toy. I've been eyeing the KA in empire red as well. Hope to get it for Xmas. As for your friend 'wendyywy @ Table for 2..... or more', I hope she is aware that electrical gadgets in the US have a different watt/voltage system, and unless she further invests in a transformer unit, it would be totally useless in Malaysia.
Rgds, Doree [your silent reader]
Happy Birthday to your daughter...The cake looks fantastic...I'm glad you found a good deal on a Kitchen Aid mixer...You are gonna love it.
Happy birthday to your daughter:D She's a lucky girl to get such a delicious cake for her special day.
祝你家女儿生日快乐！
哇！那天才谈起，你的新玩具就到手啦！很快我们就有好吃的蛋糕咯！

And happy birthday to your daughter~^^
from-joey
Sonia,
I'm so sorry if this has caused discomfort among your readers, and I'm sorry if I caused you discomfort. I wasn't trying to show off, but just to share with you my joy of getting one too. Because initially you told me you wanted to get one from US too.
And to Doree (sorry Sonia if I reply her here)
Yes, I am aware. It can easily be remedied with a step down transformer.
Sorry, may I add another line here.
Doree, thanks for the notification.
Wow, a KA. May i know where you get the mixer?? Thank you.
angelaahh93@gmail.com

Happy belated to your daughter and congratulations to your new toy!!
She is so gorgeous!! U husband is very sweet to get it for you all the way from Singapore.
U know every time I pass by Meyer (where KA is sold in SG) I always stop and stare at the displayed KA, among all the colours I like this red the most!! I'd love to have it but till now I still can't convince myself to spend so much $$ on this gadget. I don't mind if it is a gift. :P
Happy 13th birthday to your lovely daughter. The cake looks delicious, I love the addition of Roche (they're my favorite) And congratulations on your new toy, I love the color too. You have a sweet husband.
Aww I love the Fererro Rocher around the cake. It takes the cake to another level. CHocolate cake is always a winner for birthdays. happy B'day to your daughter!

Anonymous, Thank you for stood up for me, but i think you have mis-understand Wendy, I know she was not trying to show off, because earlier I told her I was thinking to get a US blogger friend to carry back one unit back for me as I know US selling cheap,but I drop this idea as the unit is too heavy. Anyway, Thanks for your support.
Wendy, don't worry, I have no concern over your comment here, glad you manage to get a cheaper unit.
Sonia, is it your daughter's birthday or your birhtday? haha... Why you also got present from hubby? haha... Btw, wishing your daughter a very belated birthday!

Hi Sonia, I'm a big fan of your blog. May I know where to get a cheaper KA mixer in SG? My email is ellie232@yahoo.com thank you
Hi Sonia :) This is Carmen! Just wanted to let you know that I've tried this cake out and my friends absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I actually replaced the caster sugar with dark brown muscovado sugar as I didn't have any caster sugar, and the egg white did not rise until stiff peaks, of course! Nevertheless, it still turned out alright, and my friends love it! Thank you so much :)
