A mendhi (henna) espresso cake

This is the cake I made for my cousin’s engagement. It’s an espresso cake with butter cream frosting which is meant to look like a mendhi (henna) pattern! Will post the recipe soon!

P.S. Check out my cousin Swetha’s blog http://swayskitchen.tumblr.com/ for awesome Indian recipes!!
