Birthday Cakes

In this post you can find some of my latest birthday cakes. I hope you like them...

This cake was made for a friend of mine called Andri. She wanted a simple decoration.
------------------------------------------

My niece, Markos, celebrated his 11th birthday on the 25th of November.
