Vanilla Coconut Cream Cake

         
          My toddler was drooling for a cake after watching the masterchef of Starplus in which Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's birthday was being celebrated.He was badly craving for a cake.I felt bad for the baby.Otherwise he is least interested in cakes.I asked him if he wants a cake now.He was like yes,I want it now.
           Just after the show,I started preparing the cake for my toddler.By 11 at night I finished the work of my cake.Believe me,it tasted awesome.My toddler is too fond of cutting birthday cakes but his father seldom allow him to do so.So I thought of celebrating a fake birthday function just for kidding.We gave him a knife and clicked pics and he fed us cakes and we too fed him.It was fun with my little boy smiling happily that his wish was done.
