Chocolate Eclairs


Made some chocolate eclairs for the office this morning. Did not have time to make the more liquid chocolate coating for the top so just dipped them in melted chocolate. I feel just as good with a slight snap when you bite into it.Used dark chocolate this time but next time I think may try with milk chocolate. Definitely for the adults!

Problems with the Oven....

So I have concluded that my 7 year old oven is ill and it is not getting better. Repaired it a couple of times but from the feedback that I have been getting from some close friends, the problem seems to arise with the butter cakes especially, the bottom of the cake seems to be a little dense. I do apologise to anyone who have received such a cake and I am trying to rectify this problem.

Will be acquiring a new oven soon and in the meantime will be making use of my spare oven which should be fine. This is really irritating me,this butter cake thing. *Sigh*

Hen's night



First cake for the new year 2011! A Red dress for a Hen's Night. This was really funny, knowing that it is a standing dress with chocolate cake underneath the skirt, I showed some of my friends and the first thing they said to me was wow! a heart coming out of a volcano, nice! what? it was so obvious to me that this was a dress and not some volcano. Well I hope the bride to be sees it my way.

A Bridal Shower






Hmmm somehow I forgot to post pictures of a fantastic bridal shower we threw for a friend. It was themed "vintage carnival". I had such a good time planning this and making all the labels for everything. These are just a few pics of the party, the rest are censored.
