Came home this evening and decided to try baking cream puffs again. This time, I’m intent on making sure that the whipping cream turns out fine.

Feeling a little under the weather, hence I absent myself from work today with a medical chit. And decided to bake a special dinner for my 2 golden retrievers since they were so well-behaved during their baths yesterday night.

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I’ll be trying out a new recipe to bake a birthday cake suitable for dogs. The initial plan was to bake a single layer instead of the double layer the recipe calls for, but after some contemplation, I decided to go ahead with the full works the night […]

We each brought home a total of 4 cakes in the size of a rectangular cake tin, like the Sara Lee pound cake. Yes, you didn’t read it wrong. It’s a grand total of 4 cakes, all in slightly different flavouring too!
