I just made this for my sister's party that's coming up and it's great!! I made it without any nuts because of allergies and stuff but it still came out great. It was so easy I didn't even screw it up. haha. ;D

Hi Mrsbudakiel

Well done, you're doing great!

All you need is a little confidence and of course good ingredients.

Ask your MIL if she would share some of her recipes with you, believe me there's nothing like a mother helping her DIL to cook for her beloved son.
