Here goes the answers of Sujitha :

1. Abt you few words which we don't know

First of all i thank Usha(Maha) for this opportunity, This sujitha Ruban Writer of sujithaeasycooking, i enjoy experiment with recipes and food.. nowadays i love to make good friends here in blogging.. Mostly I’m a silent writer in blogging..

2. 3 photography tips & kitchen tips Photography Tips:

• Take photos in good natural light(Sun Light) • Make out a plain background with a plain cloth or mat, so that ur dish will have good look.. • Edit your photos using a good software, when adding text with photo choose a contrast combination.. if the background is light blue or pink or white, choose the text color as maroon or Dark blue..

Kitchen Tips:

• Grate the coconuts and store them in freezer, when you want to prepare coconut milk with the frozen coconuts, soak them in warm for 5 mins and grind in a mixer squeeze out the coconut milk.. • I usually Peel Pearl onion, garlic and store it in a airtight container and refrigerate them, in the same way i remove the head cap of the green chili and store them in a air tight containers this make the green chili to be fresh for more than 10 days.. • For cleaning kitchen i use warm water, so that the strains and oily dirt comes out easily, for whipping the kitchen counter i use some soft cotton cloths which are old and unused, so that washing the cloths are easy..

3.How to develop blog n blog page to get more fans n views

Write a good reaching content, maintain a good relationship with other bloggers, improve your network.. this is not the matter, how many bloggers/friends you know, how many bloggers/Friends know you is the important thing, feel free to talk, be ready to help.. 4 How blog changed ur life& how many posts ur doing in a month

Blogging, this is fancy word when i started writing here.. once i involved seriously i breath this blogging in my life.. before blogging i convince my self, okay next time, will prepare better.. after blogging i found some perfection in my life.. Post depends to my mood if i have no travel, I’m okay with the regular schedule i post 12-20 posts per month.. otherwise it goes down below 12..

HAPPY MONDAY.....

Here Iam with the step wise clicks of NUMBER 4 SHAPED CAKE....If I started sharing about this cake story I may need 2 posts...HAHAHA....Ya...Actually,MAHADEV was so curious and excited about his birthday and cake....When I asked about the cake he told that he want,LION CAKE,SPIDER MAN,NUMBER 4 SHAPED CAKE..I searched for three cake recipes in the net and also got many useful links..But I was not ready to dare to make a LION CAKE or SPIDER MAN CAKE..DH also already  ordered a cake out side n he said It`s better to don`t try any cakes with lots of house hold works...But,a MOM how can be calm??Even though I was not well I made this cake for him..

Here in FOZ it`s quite difficult to get maid and presently from last four months Iam only doing the all house hold works with kids,cooking and most Important Blogging.Doing house hold works is not difficult but It`s really tough when kids walks and runs behind a MOM..The age between of my both sons is only 2 yrs.So,It`s really difficult to convince them while fighting..Some times My mind is blocking and feeling like to run from all these..But where??It`s Impossible to live alone without some strong bonds...

O.K....Coming to the cake story,Don`t know how I made NUMBER 2 SHAPED CAKE for MAHADHIP birthday very easily...But,For this I really struggled lot.May be, I think my tiredness affected me more than the my  Interest in making the cake..Some how,I tried my level best for a beautiful cake and Dev was so Happy.Well,I selected marble cake here...and this was my second attempt.YA...I have another recipe of  MARBLE CAKE which contains eggs in DRAFT..Will  post soon..I noted down this from SHARMIS PASSIONS and it came out very well....

Along with step wise clicks sharing some photos of birthday boy and his brother.Because of lots of photos Iam giving the link of original recipe HERE..Please,check there for the recipe....

I doubled the INGS and used a rectangular shaped oven proof safe bowl...And coming to the frosting,First I frosted simple vanilla butter frosting by mixing ,1cup of butter+3 cups confectioners sugar with 1 tsp of vanilla.Then For a chocolate flavour melted 150gms  bitter  chocolates with 2-3 tsps of milk on fire  then after few minutes(It should be cool) frosted the cake..Finally,Sprinkled chocolate shaves...

Now,to the Recipe....

I REALLY THANK YOU EVERY ONE FROM MY HEART WHO WISHED AND BLESSED MY MAHADEV
