Vanilla Chiffon Cake w/Honeycomb Crunch Toffee


Chiffon cakes tends to be many homebakers favourites choice with its unlimited variations . You name it, they have it from fruits ,vegetable ,wine, spices & the list get longer.

My personal favourites chiffon are Orange & Pandan flavour so far, but I do like to explore as many flavours as I could, thus will be embark on a Chiffon project from now on,wish I could at least try out one flavour each week in order to keep up with the practise of getting the right constistency of the meringue- the first key to achieve a perfect chiffon.

This is the 2nd Chiffon I have baked this week, knew that this creation orginated from Starbucks HK & then gradually became one of the chain bakery house cakes, what a clever idea to add honeycomb crunch toffee as topping, but I would advise to add on the sliced cake itself instead of the topping cos the toffee crunch will soften & melt when is place on a moist surface. (Will try to post recipe for toffee crunch this wkend)

Classic Black Forest Gateau,Happy Birthday to Me




I have been desperately craving for a Real Classic Black forest cake recently.what I mean classic? its got to be full of kirsch soak Genoise, layers of rich Valhorna chocolate mousse, "Fabri" syrup soak black cherries embeded on whipped cream, topped with lots of pipe whipp cream with stem cherries , this is what I pronounced as Classic Black Forest.

Are you willing to pay for S$7.50 for a slice of store bought black forest cake mainly filled with fresh whipped cream, NO ! I DON'T

Do you bake your own Birthday cake ? Now I do , my first homebake birthday cake, don't ask me why, just the frst own bake .
Happy Birthday to Me ! To all the July Birthday Girs/Boys, This is the cake for you.

Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream (Eggless)








I like to do my grocery shopping at the hyper mart on Sunday early morning, for the reason that we get the freshest supply & great bargain & I bet their price for veggie is cheaper than any of the wet market could offer. besides you could avoid the big crowd that flows in in the mid day.

Grab some imported bluberries, strawberries at a great value lately ,these fruits are really versatile, you could puree & freeze them if not in use yet. Just on time for me to churn out his fantastic Yummy Blueberry ice cream with sour cream added taken from this blog, not only the taste, but the gorgeous violet colours are always tickering your taste bud.

She Knows Bagel

To my Surprised, Bagel has never in my "To do List" ever since I've started baking bread. "Bland,hard" was my first unpleasant experience with a store bought bagel from a supermarket .


Until when she keep posting her various Bagel bakes, I was drooling over the round,cute puffy look bagel made by her. With the basic dough, it can turned into many others flavour, sweet or savoury, ie chocolate,coffee,pumpkin, mixed veggie etc. It seems that cream chees spread goes well with it , will try a cream cheese spread on next attempt.


Will keep playing with others different flavour


Oreo biscuits added

Quilt In Progress

When Chiemi announced to me that her 2nd child will be due on May , the words just slipped out from my mouth that I will sew a baby quilt for her newborn, thereafter till last 2 months, I was told that is a baby girl. the making of quilt started then.
Pink or pastel colour will always be my prior choice, since not much time left to her due date, have to make it simple ,hope this simple but hand sewn with love baby quilt will keep her little princess warm.

A final touch on the binding to completion , it will be ready to send to Tokyo to welcome the little one in the next few days.
