Cookie Jar

The office cookie jar is full. Chocolate chip cookies with pecans is the cookie of the day.

Craving for vanilla sponge

Every now and then, I get a specific craving for sponge. This time I wanted sponge with fruits. Instead of purchasing a single slice from the bakery I decided why not make a whole cake for the department. This was light and lovely, vanilla sponge layered with fresh cream and mandarins. The almonds on the side was a real pain to attach but superb to eat.

Crashing Batman

Poor poor batman. The request was for a 2 tiered lemon cake with batman on it. It was a beautiful regal cake but when I brought it to the destination, it crashed. Crashed badly as the lemon cake was too soft to withstand the upper tier notwithstanding the support to the structure I had placed inside the cake. Anyways, good thing the party was the next day and I cancelled all plans that night (day of the crash) to focus on completing another 2 tiered cake ( picture attached) but this time butter cake as it is a lot sturdier than the fluffy lemon. Glad the party liked it.*phew*
