NOTES:
*Pls add maida little by little and not fully.
* Pls mix curd and sugar till sugar dissolves completely.
* While transferring different colour batter, please make 
sure that the batter doesn't smudge
* Any number of colours can be used as per our choice.
* Using oil is better as it is eggless, oil will help the batter 
to be watery.
* Any colour can be used for the frosting.
* Frosting has to be refrigerated for an hour before using.
* Cake has to cool down completely before frosting,if 
not frosting will melt.
