Non-Bake Baileys’ Cheesecake

Hello folks, I am back after a long break and  I apologise for the absence. 
Apart from fulfilling some orders I have been receiving from friends and readers of my blog, we have also taken a short trip to Phuket to celebrate my birthday.  On top of that, I’ve also decided to leave my current job.  So you […]

Strawberry Sweethearts Take III

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 […]

Strawberry Sweethearts Take II

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 […]

Strawberry Hearts and More

It’s the end of the work week, and a bunch of gal friends and I decided to chill it out at C’s house, sort of a Girls’ Night Out but instead of that, we are having a Ladies’ Movie Night In (well, I can’t exactly use the word girls when most of us are either […]

Simple Strawberry Cream Cake

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 […]

Mother’s Day Mango Mousse Cake

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 […]

Chilled Raspberry Cheesecake

E, a good friend of mine, will be celebrating her birthday next weekend.  A bunch of her gal friends (moi included) decided to carry forward her birthday celebrations to this weekend since we are also meeting up to celebrate my elder dog’s 3rd birthday.
Searching for a cake recipe suitable for E proved to be quite […]

Kueh Lapis I

This is how my kueh lapis turned out after trying out the recipe from Valerie’s workshop last night.  I thought it doesn’t look too bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement.  For one, I need to make each layer thinner so that there are more layers.
Oh well, I have to give myself some leeway.  Afterall, it […]

Valerie Kong’s Latest Baking Workshops

Many visitors to my blog continue to ask me for the recipe of the jellyhearts.  I feel compelled to repeat myself; I am not able to share the recipe because I am not able to obtain the permission of both the creator of the recipe or the person who shared it with me.  I implore […]

JellyHeartified!

I finally managed to get hold of the legendary jellyhearts!  It doesn’t come cheap though.  A box of 20 jellyhearts costs $15, and that’s only because I joined an online spree, hence we managed to get bulk discount.
For the uninitiated, jellyhearts was first introduced in Singapore early this year by an ingenious lady.  It’s actually a […]
