 Si baldu merah....ha..ha ini kali kedua saya mencubanya....tetapi masih belum berpuas hati dengan warna dan tekturnya. Tidak tahu apa sebabnya merahnya tidak begitu menyerlah dan tekturnya agak kering sedikit. Rasanya kena cuba sekali lagi sehingga saya benar-benar mendapat apa yang saya hajati. Apa pun kek ini memang cukup sesuai dijadikan hantaran mahupun kek ulang tahun
