Fruit Cakes

I don't really like to eat fruit cakes, but I'm happy with the batch i baked for one of our xmas party. They are not dense and overly sweet like the traditional fruit cake. I can still taste the 5 different fruits I had in there, apricots, cranberries, rasins, pinapple, prunes. The trick to make your fruit cake well-liked - CUT DOWN ON THE SUGAR.

My Buddy's Birthday

My third birthday cake, I baked it for my buddy and we had a mini celebrations at her place. Ning was so excited during the whole sing song-make wish-blow candles process, I'm sure she thought it was HER birthday again...

Fruit Tarts

Fruit tarts I made, I coated the tart shells with a thin layer of chocolate, filled them with instant mango pudding and top up with canned fruits.. its was easy to make and very fruiti-licious :)




For the record, I failed on my first batch of tart shell, shown above on the left, I just pressed a ball of dough into the tart case, it turns out so thick that I didn't even have enough space for fillings.. On my second attempt, I rolled out the dough evenly, quite thinly, before i lay them into the tart case... i works much better as shown above on the right. Lesson learned: Don't be lazy! hehe...

Little Bakers

My best friend Karen brought her 2 girls, and Hui Hui's 2 girls over for a "baking class". It was an afternoon of girlish giggling.

We had donuts, fruit cake and juicy grapes for tea break

After putting the cupcakes into the oven to bake, they are ready to make cookies

I demo a doggy...

The gals were left on their own while Pris, Karen and I had coffee break.

When they are done, there were no doggies... but I'm impressed by their creativity..

Little fingers at work

The gals are happy with their creations

Happy Birthday Sis

My 2nd birthday cake, I made it for my sis. Its a chocolate sponge cake with peach fillings.

I coated some marshmallow for her too...

We had a fight...

... and guess who won...

Housewarming Party @ West Bay

My buddy threw a housewarming party at her new home, I volunteered to help in preparing some of the food. Besides some cupcakes and macarons, there were curry, grilled chicken wings, fried mee hoon, curry puff, popiah, bo bo cha cha and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Yummy spread!

I think we didn't took enough photos as we were busy the whole time.

I also made a batch of xmas cupcakes, but they toppled on their way to to party. hehe..
