Cinnamon rolls used to be all the rage in Singapore in the late 90s, but like bubble tea, it was all but a fad destined to become part of our F&B history earlier rather than later. Admittedly, I had forgotten all about how I used to be obsessed with cinnamon rolls and how I must […]

Take III, and I promise it’s the final take of strawberry sweethearts, for a while. In a week, I’ve made it 5 times (and one more order to go on Monday). I do think it’s quite enough. As a matter of fact, I think I’m overdosed to the point of being indifferent to it now.
You […]

Didn’t I say I was going to make another attempt soon?
Well, I wanted to try it out again on Monday, but the NTUC I went to didn’t have strawberries! And so, I was compelled to postpone my plans till today (after The Hubby kindly went out to get the strawberries for me).
Did some […]

Ended up that my biscotti became such a hit with men! The Hubby loved it (to my pleasant surprise) so much he had them for breakfast when I initially packed 5 slices for his supper at work, C’s husband loved it, and same goes for her colleague who was there for the movie night too.
Having received much […]

Finding good and value-for-money biscotti in Italy is not an issue at all, but once you step out […]

Created a very simple strawberry cream cake from the remaining pieces of the sponge cake used for the mango mousse cake. I ran out of creativity, so I just simply whip some cream, added some strawberry slices, and put two layers of the sponge together.
The recipe for the cream is really simple; for every 1 […]

Attended yet another of Joycelyn Shu’s workshop at Shermay’s. If you have been visiting Joycelyn’s blog, you would have read about her laborious undertakings to perfect the ‘jewel-like confections’, which she confesses to have quite a fixation on.
I myself missed quite a few perfect opportunities to taste these legendary cookie sandwiches made by some of the world’s best acclaimed pâtisseries […]

Recently, there has been sort of a mango mousse cake frenzy on a local baking forum (which I am fortunate to be a member of). Because the mango mousse cake recipe created by Jo of Karlsfoodie was such a delectable-looking one, everyone else was trying to find the perfect opportunity to try baking one.
My perfect […]

Sugar Asterope, my elder golden retriever, will be celebrating her 3rd birthday tomorrow. Months before, I was already searching for the perfect birthday cake recipe, but to no avail. Those I came across (which were far and few, by the way) were either boring or called for some exotic ingredient I’d never heard of.
Help came in the […]
