I have to confess that I sometimes do not act my age. I collect Pooh Bear soft toys, and I have 3 pairs of pyjamas with Doraemon prints. I also like Chip ‘N’ Dale a lot, but my obsession with all things cute stops here. I don’t go ga-ga over Hello Kitty stuff in general, […]

Proust’s childhood memories with a twist!
I’ve always been more of a tea person rather than a coffee person. As a matter of fact, I don’t drink coffee at all and I always marvel at how some people around me are able to down cup after cup of coffee to stay awake. Of the many tea flavours […]

The picture above speaks volumes for itself, doesn’t it?
Yes! At this moment, there is a pink Artisan series KitchenAid sitting proudly on top of my black granite counter-top in my kitchen. I shan’t go into the full details about how I finally decided on the pink KitchenAid; let’s just say that I left home awfully […]

I have been indulging in some quality baking equipment and ingredients recently. After attending the Cupcakes Workshop at Shermay Cooking School, I bought this cupcake bundle set (which sets me back by $89.00). It consists of a cool Cuisipro Deluxe Batter Bowl, Cuisipro Silicone Whisk, Cuisipro Silicone Spatula, 50 regular and 50 mini cupcake cases, […]

Happy New Year, my friends!
So, how did you spend the long weekend that just passed us by so quickly? I mentioned in the previous post that I wanted to catch up on my baking and stuff. And I really had plans to bake some cupcakes, cookies and cakes.
However, I spend the long weekend in the hospital […]
