    Thank you Razik for the list… Much appreciated… :thanks:

    Based on the number of registered members, i have ordered for 30 pieces today morning… I think this should be enough based on your detailed list… But if more is required, i can always amend the order…

    Looking forward to meeting you all…

    :thanks:

    You and Eisa are welcome…

    Didn’t really thought about this (melting…) ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜•

    Let us hope it doesn’t… I will keep my AC full blown (that may not have much effect though!!!)…

    BTW, how much time it will take to reach the meeting point from Bur Dubai with average speed of 100 to 120 kmph…

    Well, if you take Oud Metha Rd. -> Al Ain Rd (E66) then E611(old Bypass Rd) and then E102 or (Kalba Rd) you might need 60-70 mins. This is the shortest and fastest route from Bur Dubai imho. From Silicon Oasis it’s ~45 mins.
    By the way, when I was transporting a cake, I was putting it on the floor behind driver’s seat and arrange A/C to blow to feet. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Would suggest you take Hatta Road (E44) to get on to E611 (Old Bypass Road) as that would be much shorter. Rest is exactly as Denis suggested.

    Me and my friends enjoyed every minute of the drive… First I was not sure whether my friends would like the drive or not… But they enjoyed it thoroughly… A big :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: to DO and all the members / family / friends who joined the trip…

    I hope all of you liked the cake… It would not be fair on my part if i don’t thank Mrs. Firoz (I hope I got the name correct) and her lovely children for helping me in distributing the cake… Without their help it would have been difficult for me to manage… So a big big :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: and :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
