Opera Cake with Gold Flake

The first time I made this cake last year, I didn't know that it would steal people's heart by the taste. Not only that, people also appreciate the time and effort I put in making this.

Last year just before Christmas, I made an Opera Cake to enjoy it ourselves at home. However, I did put aside some for an officer at my office building and some for a dear friend. To my surprise, both got back
to me and said they wanted to order one for their special occasions!

My friend ordered straight away for the following week, and the officer said that her niece wanted it for 26th January 2011. That was quite an advance order so far :)

Today I have delivered the cake and really hope that they will enjoy the cake and whatever celebration they may have.
