cool cake decoration

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed my coffee cake.Today I want to show you a cool cake decoration I got in one of my favourite shops,"TIGER".
For those of you that don't know,Tiger is a really cool European shop that sells unusual and fun items.

Yesterday I bought a white cake candelabra that holds nine candles and comes with nine pink and white candles.I had to get it when I saw it because I think it is a really simple idea to give a plain cake a dramatic look for only 3 euros.

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog.
Talk to you next time.Bye!
