Here is my very amateur attempt at decorating a cake for Mother's Day. But what you just need to know is that the golden kiwis were very sweet, and so were the red seedless grapes. This is a chestnut cake, the chestnut paste was very delicious too. What I'm getting is that it may look bad but it does taste good! Substance matters more than looks! And certainly the thought matters a lot too...
So Mom, Happy Mother's Day to you. I remember we had the chance to celebrate the day together last year but it feels like a century ago. We can't go out as freely anymore, so I will make you more homemade things to celebrate. And although they would have looked amateurish or even taste different than those in the restaurants or shops, you would have oohed and aahed over it just like you normally do to show your appreciation.
I remember reading a famous Malay story called Batu Belah Batu Bertangkup at school. In the story, the mom abandoned her two young kids because they ate the fish roe she so craved. I thought to myself how selfish can this mom be that she would begrudge her kids from eating her food? Because I have never known my mom for withholding anything from me, much less food. My mom would rather go hungry than seeing us kids without food. Mom's really the best.
