Baby toffee choc chip shortbread



Baked cookies for the office over the weekend. This is a fantastic cookie recipe. I manage to find really good imported toffee for these, expensive but so worth it! Pure butter shortbread studded with crystalised crunchy toffee and chocolate chips.

Bon Voyage


An aeroplane and clouds. A banana walnut cake for a birthday cum farewell party. I love its simplicity.

Blondies



These I must say were perfect. They were like chocolate chip cookie in a chewy cake form. Blondies are always found in books on brownies. They are literally the blond version of the brownie. Definitely a keeper.

Milano Marble Cake



Moist marble cake with a milano cookie crumb and a hint of mint. This was nice but can be improved still. A unique crunch when you bite into the chocolate vanilla flavoured cake and a little burst of mint make an appearance for those with a discerning palate. Nice. pictures were taken after the cake was butchered, please excuse the crumbs.

Little Miss Sunshine




I had previously made a Little Miss cake and this time round, a request for little miss sunshine cupcakes. was a little scared to make them initially but managed to come up with some solutions to get these mini sugar little miss sunshines onto the cucpakes. They were a lot of fun to make.

Cheshire Cat



A tall order I thought initially. I knew this was going to take awhile to make for the simple reason, I don't own a cookie cutter in the shape of the cheshire cat! Was thinking for days what shaped cutters would be closest to this face but in the end decided I had no other choice but to cut the cookie dough out one by one using a knife. Time consuming but was worth it! heard they were a hit at the Alice in Wonderland themed party.

Little Drummer Boy


Birthday cake for a little boy's 1st birthday. A unique themed party I must say, drums. Well the cake I made was in a shape of a drum. Hope he liked it.

Baby Shower



Some cute cookies and cupcakes for a friend's baby shower. The cookies I have made before but I had some trouble packing them this time cause they spread slightly while baking, making them bigger than usual. Could not fit them into the usual plastic bags, tried stuffing them into individual boxes but they did not look so nice. In the end settled for wrapping them in good quality cling firm and love love love the way they look!.
