Chocolate Brownies

So The Hubby chose to have chocolate brownies over the rest of the recipes in Donna Hay’s Modern Classics Book 2, which can be found in Kinokuniya.  The recipe can be found on page 18 of the book, if you are interested. 

The brownie turned out tasting very nice indeed, although The Hubby complained that it’s a […]

Snow Skin Mooncakes

While looking around for classes to attend (to learn how to bake traditional mooncakes), I decided to try making some snow skin mooncakes first.  Make hay whilst the sun shines!  Afterall, Mid-Autumn Festival is only slightly more than a month away.

- I know this photo isn’t great, but oh well, it’s a bad-phototaking-skills day -

Baking Class : Muffins

How time flies!  I’m already into my last lesson of the cake module.  And the last lesson, we will be baking muffins!
I’m quite a huge fan of muffins, and had been looking forward to this lesson for quite a while because I’m sure the recipe will be somewhat different from the other recipes I’ve tried so […]

Funny Eating Fotos Contest

If you folks have been a regular reader of Chubby Hubby’s blog, you should have read that he is running a contest titled Funny Eating Fotos… and the prize is… a Nokia N73!
I’ve decided to try my luck by entering this contest.  Nevermind that I already own one of the top-of-the-range handphones around (which I almost […]

Kenny Rogers Corn Muffins

I absolutely love dining at Kenny Rogers!  A pity that they have been closing down most of their outlets and the existing ones are so out of the way for me.
Give me their chicken quarter pounder, sinful macaroni cheese and corn muffins anytime!
And boy, was I ecstatic when I came across this recipe online about […]

Nephew’s Birthday Cake

Like I’ve mentioned in the previous posts, my cousin’s son aka my nephew just celebrated his 1 year-old birthday over the weekend with our extended family.
I didn’t bake the birthday cake.  I wished I were good enough, but my skills are really not up to the task yet.  Still, I want to share the picture of […]

Party Pastries

*DRRRRRRRRUMROLL PLEASESSSSS*
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s presenting the fruit tarts and choux pastry I baked for my nephew’s birthday part…

- A total of 32 fruit tarts and 42 cream puff shells -
It does look like quite a massive project isn’t it?
Frankly, it isn’t that bad; it’s just awfully time consuming considering that it’s a […]

Indeed a Small World!

OMG! :shock:  I can’t believe I forgot to mention this.
I was at Phoon Huat Hougang Specialty Branch yesterday evening after work, and was there for about 1 hour, I think.  It was crowded on and off, with students from the afternoon class shopping for some baking products and students going for the evening class turning […]

Chocolate Éclairs

Woah!  The weekend is here again, and it is going to be so filled with baking activities for me!
Due to some unforseen circumstances, the party attending my nephew’s birthday celebration has suddenly increased by 10 persons to over 30 in total now.  Minor adjustments have to be made to my initial plan.  That’s really fine by me.  […]
