Chinese New Year



Chinese New Year is just around the corner. A time always to look forward to when I was young, an inflow of cash was greeted with open arms. But now that I am married. The tides has turned and now more outflow of cash than anything. But all in good fun!



I made a chinese new year cake over the weekend. Cherry blossoms are always pretty. A simple and yet elegant cake I thought.

Baby shower cupcakes




A friend's baby shower. I did not have time to do too much decoration but I like the classic swirls in pretty pastel baby colours. Hope they will like it tonight.

Chocolate Dots


A couple of months back I made some vanilla dots, need to get the pictures from Nadia. This is the chocolate version. Was deciding whether to put in a rich chocolate filling but decided against it. Instead, I used my trusty raspberry cream recipe and filled the chocolate choux pastry. They turned out really nice! Best of all, they are bite size!

Dad's birthday was on the 1st of January. It was a fun and yet intimate event. Close friends, homecooked food and graet fellowship! Orange poppy seed at the bottom and butter on top. The cake was eaten in 2 days... .record time:)
