How To Make a Reindeer Cake But With a Twist Are you ready to make your own pink magical reindeer cake? This festive holiday cake is not your typical reindeer cake. It is the girl-fied version of Rudolph “the pink nose” reindeer cake.

My bf and I were only there for three days during our trip to Vietnam and I wished we stayed longer. We originally only planned to go to Hoi An to see the Lantern Festival and we didn't think to stay longer as we were cautious about the weather being the start of their rainy season. The rain and a bit of thunder did come; however it didn't really disrupt our trip. We stayed at La Charm Hoi An Hotel & Spa near Ancient Town and I really enjoyed this hotel. The staff/service was incredible, the location was perfect- such an easy quick 5/6 mins walk to the Ancient Town markets, restaurants, canals, and we highly enjoyed the free breakfast buffet and free bike rentals. I can't say enough good things about this hotel and would highly recommend. Hoi An has a special place in my heart, I really enjoyed just walking around the streets ...
