Happy Birthday, Ryan

When I need to make a sponge cake, I'll always be extremely cautious. Comparatively, much more careful than making a chiffon. After making two successfully, this was the final one that were used for making a birthday cake for Ryan. I'm a perfectionist at heart, so I'll try to do the best for every detail. Even though people told me that eventually, the cake would be concealed by the cream and decoration, I just can't cross that hurdle. So I'm glad that the sponge cake came out nicely.

Happy Birthday, Ryan. I'll always remember that day when you caress my hand which was inserted with a plug for the drip after delivering Nataniel. You were just six years old but you came over to my bedside and gently asked if I were in pain. That moment just melt my heart.
