Cookie Monster request!

Green Tea Muffin with Red Beans

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to come

It has been a long time since I bake! Partially due to laziness during preggy! However, since dd requested me to make some cookies (later post) I decided to let my oven work a little more with this Green Tea Muffins with Red Beans (1st attempt)

Didn't know that the content is so moist, however, the output is fine as the heat as absorped the moisture during baking. I had placed some Red Beans in the muffin as fillings & I also add the balance Red Beans on top to have a little decoration to the muffins.

Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Ryan is my nephew and his birthday celebration will have to carry forward to this sunday as some of my sis are going on holiday during his birthday. Hence, the mommy has requested a Racing Car cake for him as he is a big fan of CARS, just like my son!! I think boys are usually fancinated by all types of transportations relating with wheels!!

Here's what I got for him:
I think I have forgotten the logo!! Oh gosh!! The name is spelled wrongly, only notice after I brought the cake out!

Japanese Green Tea Cheesecake!

It's a long time since I bake Japanese Cheesecake! Since I have a whole block of cream cheese in my fridge, I must put them into good use.. so, you can expect a lot of cheesy stuff till I finish the cream cheese.

Not bad.. at least this looks 'Green' unlike the Green Tea Muffin I made recently.

For this cake, I have used the same recipe plus 2 teaspoon of green tea powder to the corn flour.

This is simply yummy!

WholeMeal Bread with a change!

A week has passed and I have finished my loaf of wholemeal bread. Saw my helper preparing to make another loaf for this week, I wanted something for a change.. hence, asked her to split the dough into 6 portion to make them into buns instead.

Here's what I got from my limited supplies:

Cheese Buns:


Garlic Buns:

Making Tiramisu with Korean Friend

To welcome my friend, Ji Eun, from Korea. I had decided to make a tiramisu with her since she is staying with us during this trip!

Long time no see: Green Tea Muffin!!

Just browse through previous batches of Green Tea Muffin I have made.. Somehow, this batch seems to be more brown than Green! Probably 'cos I have used a different Green Tea Powder compare to previous ones. Anyway, taste as good! Hope they will be well received tmr in my office!

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

I have a request to make Hello Kitty Birthday Cake 2 wks ago from a 5 yr old girl. This is what I have come out with.

I had a hard time baking the cake as the silicon mold is very deep and I have no idea if I should reduce or increase the temperature, recipe state 175degree and 20 mins for 8" (I have converted to 7")

This result in the imperfect in this cake.

See the blotted behind the head!
Another View.
Somehow, managed to cover the imperfectionest and transform it into a presentable Birthday Cake.





Happy Birthday, Charis!

Strawberry Chiffon Cake

Another Birthday cake for my mom? Yeah.. the previous was made last saturday, and was eaten without her cutting as we wanted to give mom a surprise celebration on today (which is the Actual day)

All goes according to plan as mom was kept in the dark until the caterior set up the food at her place.

How can such celebration goes without a proper cake?

Hence, I have made this cake last night.. without the top design as my highest container can only carry up to this height (abt 7")

Here's the design made in hurry as I was 1 hours late (I travelled from Suntec to Jurong, by bus)! I had asked my hubby to fetch the kids and the cake from home, together with my pre-prepared ingredients and tools.

Happy Birthday to Mom!

Mom's birthday falls on 22nd and I will not be seeing her, hance, made this well in advance for her.

She is not a chocolate lover, so, I used Vanilla Angel Cake to create this cake for her. I really would like to leave the cake plain, but, how can birthday cake be birthday cake with no decoration?
