What is this flowering succulent plant?

Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to succulents, so please bear with me! A couple of years ago, I was given a couple of cuttings of a succulent plant by a friend. I had no idea what it was, and so I just stuck it into a pot with soil. Nothing much happened for a while until last year, when it finally started to grow. Yesterday, it even started to bloom! It has these huge flower buds which would burst open to form this gigantic, pink flower so I could not help but to whip out my camera to take some photos:

It appears to be slightly fragrant even! There are several other buds on this plant too. The succulent leaves are quite soft and require some staking. As you may notice, the buds are formed along the serrated edge of the succulent leaves. What on earth is it please? How should I be caring for it? You advice is much appreciated!
