Description

Homemade baked goods for tea. If you have time and enough imagination, you can make a cake in the shape of a favorite character from a computer game or anything else. Alternatively, you can make a classic-style cake and decorate it modestly. The cake is easy to prepare and just as easy to decorate, for example, with colorful chocolate sprinkles or other candies.
