Fantastic!!! What a cake to keep the memory of those horrible days during the war and for the sacrifice those young men did . I hate war. I have two sons myself. I’d rather break their legs then let them go to die for political manipulations. So sad . This cake is also for all the mums that lost their beautiful young sons . Well done !!!
