Rainbow Cake

Assalamualaikum..

My first attempt to frost a cake. How was it? Ugly...yeah i know hahah...Its my latest hobby. My plan is to learn how to frost a cake beautifully.

Its full of vegies & my kids loved it. Here the recipe...

• 1 tsp black pepper
• Mayonaise

Melt the butter in the frying pan. Add capsicum, mushroom & black pepper, stir fry until the vegetables soft. Set aside.

Take the tortilla wrap, place the cheddar cheese, put the beef patty on top of the cheese. Put 2 tbsp of cooked vegie & top with salad leaves & tomato.
