Recipe: Pistachio and Passion Fruit Cake
Say hello to this pistachio and granadilla cake with white chocolate frosting 😍 The flavour combination was inspired by a cake I had tasted at @tablebayhotelsa a few weekends ago and I enjoyed it so much that I just had to try to replicate it myself. I also spotted a gorgeous cake on @thekatetin using a brush stroke technique so this is my take on it, decorated with rose petals and white chocolate leaves! Can't wait to slice into this later for #iftar Happy Wednesday 🌸 Decor Board compliments of @nanodesigns1
