Gingerbreadmen with songket

So another idea that Nadia had for another of her hantaran dulangs was gingerbread men since it is the Christmas season and her now hubby loves gingerbread from what I was told. To give it a localised feel to this, gingerbread men with songket. I absolutely love this. They are very unique I must say.

Nadia's Rustic Genoise

If I may say so myself, this was the brilliant idea of my friend who recently got married, no sugarpaste, formal stuff for the hantaran but a more rustic, yummylicious multilayerd victoria sponge for her wedding hantaran. This was initially meant to be topped with strawberries but it is cherry season and I called her the other day asking whether she'd be open to having "white" cherries on the top to give it that richness. She agreed and here it is! beautiful beautiful. Heard it was a hit with the boy's family. Congratulations Nadia and Putra!

Merry Christmas 2010

One more wedding request to go and it is the end of the baking year for me. A few weeks of not entering into the kitchen, chilling before the start of the new year begins. Merry christmas to all and a happy new year!
