Thanks Peiying! :D

Message in a Cupcake!

One of my dearest friend -- Peiying, got married over the weekend. I was one of her sisters involved in the gatecrash.

I made 10 chocolate cupcakes:

- 2 with lime (酸)

- 2 with loads of chocolate chips (甜)

- 2 with bittergourd (苦)

- 2 with wasabi (辣)

- 2 normal chocolate flavoured

These were to be fed to Joseph (Peiying's husband) and his brothers. Apparantly, they didn't taste the weird flavours. I think 'cause the chocolate flavour was too overwhelming. What a waste!! Nonetheless, I stuffed 3 cupcakes with a slip of paper (see picture above) each with a question written on them. Of course the guys didn't know about this 'cause the "holes" were well-concealed with icing! One guy thought he ate the paper 'cause by the time they realised there were something in the cupcakes, he had already finished his! haha.. funny.. but don't think the videographer managed to film that.. :)

Congratulations to Joseph & Peiying once again! Your marriage is like a fairy-tale come true :) *hugz*

Digestive Cheese Pear Jelly

Digestive Biscuits + Philly Cheese + Pear in Syrup + Agar Agar

That's the layers that make up what you see in the picture! Wanted to buy those Peaches in syrup but by accident, I bought Pear in Syrup :( Both fruits start with the letters "P", "E" and "A" mah.. so I see wrongly and but the wrong one.. :( Definitely prefer peaches to pears.. Shall open my eyes bigger the next time!

Smiley Chocolate Muffins

My very first time "piping" icing onto muffins. I'm always too lazy to make my own icing.. no exception this time round! :) I used those ready-made icing in a bottle. They come in many colours. I bought the white one as it's more versatile.

Walnut Cake

Walnut Cake Batter just before it hits the oven:


After baking:


Looks quite different from the previous Walnut Cake ya? Both uses the same recipe, except this time round, I used my mixer to combine the 2 parts of the cake mixture. Previously, I used my hand. As you can see, this time round, the mixture is more even. Taste was same, but texture is different. The hand-mixed one is more fluffy and slightly lumpier.

Walnut Cake

Doesn't look like your typical slice of walnut cake.. It's ultra spongy.. think my mixer is too powerful.. my egg whites beat until quite high..

taste test results: not too bad.. very 香...

Chocolate Muffins + Pandan Cake

almost couldn't fit the pandan cake into the cake box.. anyway, YM, i finally remembered and found the time to bake it.. how much are you going to pay me??? haha...

i'm bringing these 2 to office tmr.. hope you folks enjoy it :)

Chocolate "Hum" Muffins

I feel a little itchy looking at this picture.. the chocolate chips above are kinda overwhelming.. hehe..

sis said it looks like ants, krista said it looks like those "hum" growing on rocks in the sea.. i find the latter description more fitted hence, i present to you CHOCOLATE "HUM" MUFFINS!!! :P

Cookies

Thanks to XiaoYing for helping me utilize my cookie cutters! :)

Banana Flavoured Chocolate Cake

It looks like a chocolate cake but it has a tinge of banana flavour. Real bananas are mashed and used in this recipe. I also added a few drops of banana essence as the real bananas were not really ripe and flavourful enough.. taste turned out fine though :)

Ice Cream Chefs

These are really yummy! The pink one is watermelon-flavoured ice cream with loackers and the one next to it is chocolate hersheys with maltesers!

I had the watermelon-flavoured one and no regrets! it blends well with loackers too :)

A single scoop costs $3.10. Each mix-in costs $0.70.

Char Siew Pau

my very first attempt at making pau!

Marble Muffins

Chocolate "Fudge" Cake

This is the so-called "fudge" cake that I made the last time... It's not exactly fudge.. it's just a chocolate cake.. I left the cake in the fridge the other time and it turned out a little fudgey..

office folks, you'll get to see and taste the finished product at work tomorrow :) hope you like it!

Carrot Top

Made these for my company's chalet last weekend... Couldn't find any other boxes, so since they all fit so nicely in the Korean Ginseng Box, so, there you have it :) haha..

Looks like carrot on "soil"... It's actually chocolate muffins.. limited stocks! only ten available.. and i ate one.. -_-

hehe.. sorry folks, i was hungry..

also, made banana cake but didn't turn out well 'cause the bananas were not ripe enough.. i still think chocolate muffins are a more popular choice.. will make more next time.. :)

Nutella Roll

My sis recently bought this for us to try. It's like a 9" swiss roll filled generously with nutella. If you love nutella, you'll like this. What you see is what you get.. it's a thin layer of sponge cake wrapped with nutella.. and the person just only used cling wrap to hold the thing together.. It costs 6 bucks a roll. hmm..
