Cake With Turkish Delight

When I was making this yummy cake an idea came to my mind.  Why don’t I use Turkish delight in the cake? Then I decided to put some Turkish delight in my cake. So how was the  result? This is the result you see in this picture above. Marvelous!  I think you must try this recipe. When I decided to put Turkish delight in my cake a song was playing in my radio. Who was singing?  Madonna! Madonna was singing Candy Shop (”I’ve got Turkish delight baby and so much more…”) Turkish delight is  mentioned in the song “Candy Shop”, the first song of the album Hard Candy by Madonna. May be the song of Madonna inspired me so I did it. )
