Made this cake for eid and the result was tooo good.My family and relatives liked it soooooo much.When the taste of orange,pistha and strawberry came in one piece of cake that was so yummy.My kids too enjoyed it very much.In the movie they r saying u can add dates and raisin in pistha cake but i didn't add anything like that only pistha in pistha cake .I made this cake in 2 days.The first day I made all the 3 cakes and kept in the fridge.The next day gave icing for the cake.
