Nutella Cupcakes - it seems

Tried out nutella cupcakes. I used to have nutella long time ago when it was in those little plastic containers with a plastic spoon. A real treat. But now I noticed that these were reintroduced into the market but at a rather high price (or was I not aware at how much my parents paid for our indulgence many years back). Anyways this is a chocolate cupcake topped with nutella icing but I reckon the nutella does not come out too much in the cream, tasted more like just chocolate. But pretty anyway.

Strawberry Cream and Dark Chocolate

Sorry I have been so quiet these days but hopefully from today onwards, there'd be more frequest updates. Work had taken over my life for the past one month and now that things are settled, it's back to the kitchen for me. Here is one of the cakes I made for the office a couple of days back just for stress relieve. A layered dark chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream. It was very tasty, a new recipe I found. Many more layered cakes I hope, to come. It is always in phases, at one point I was into cookies, then agar-agar, then chiffon, then butter cakes, now layered cakes. The good recipes are kept and the not so good ones are swiftly dumped into the bin.

Farewell Breakfast for Fitch

Too many colleagues leaving the organisation. We had a breakfast farewell for one of our friends - Fitch who has since moved to greener pastures. Some pictures of the food I made..... sarnies, sausage rolls and blueberry almond muffins.

Tribute to Whitney

Shocked to hear about the death of Whitney Houston. Had her CD playing in my car.....great voice with a sad ending. Anyways, made a cake in tribute to her. A light pink vanilla cranberry cake covered in all american buttercream, sprinkled with confetti and stars! I love how this cake turned out.... the smell of butter was intoxicating.

MIA and the army cake

Yes yes it's been awhile and a number of friends had asked whatever happened to me? not blogging anymore? not baking anymore? still blogging and still baking just no time to do it. Have slowed down a little on the baking as my day job deadlines are closing in. Anyways, here is a picture of a camouflage I made out of buttercream and some paintball splatters for a kid's paintball party.
