Pretty bride Rita, http://www.wretch.cc/blog/ritahsia, is one of the earlier US Christian webfriends I met through blogging. I really appreciate her sharings and friendship, and her laughter is really infectious (yes, we laughed through half of our phone conversation last Thanksgiving). Just a couple days ago, she requested that I write down the recipe and steps while I make my cakes. Well , as I told her before, my cakes are so primitive that it is not worth learning. My decorative skill is really terrible and I have yet succeed in making chocolate fencing because the hot weather here in Singapore.

Anyway, as I made this Black Forest Cake for Father's Day this morning; I remembered Rita's request, so I took some pictures and hope you won't laugh.
