Happy Independence day and Dil Hai Hindustani Hearts




My Independence day wishes to all the Indians. Its the moment to feel proud of our country. I made this marzipan Dil Hai Hindustani Hearts for Independence day. I used the marzipan for the cake which I made today. I rolled the marzipan in palms, placed it above plastic sheet. Using a toothpick, carved those hearts. I loved them(my kiddoo, liked it so much...), did u?
