Good cake recipe as a good away present?
I want to bake a cake for someone I'm trying to impress as a going away present. What should I make? I want to do it from scratch and not some box- as she is no out of the box lady! 
Also, I want to decorate the cake with a flag of south korea- any good tips/sites on frosting and decorating a cake?
Thanks everyone!!!
The people on this section are by far the best, too ! I always get such great ideas from you people!
here is a recipe and the site is full of good tips
