A cake for Mike

Our cell leader suggested to celebrate and bless Mike today, so I baked a fruit cake and shape them to a boat .. then took me about 6 hours to complete the whole cake ..

Aloysius wants this design ..

It is also Andre's birthday so I made this cake with a lot of my love, ...















Update with 'new' pictures .. just upload from hp ..

Our Birthday 'boy'



Birthday 'boy' with our youngest boy ..


Feedback from church friends that the fruit cake was very nice, Brother Joseph had a big piece, Sister Jeanny had 2nd helping so are YongDe and Wee Leng .. this was very encouraging . Thank you Lord .. All the Praises and Honour to You !!

This was the naked cake ... YUMMY!

CNY Yummies - Pineapple Tarts

Yes .. I did it !!, the texture is melt-in-your-mouth type ..., but I've forgotten the size I've made for last year .. haha, seems like this year's are much bigger .. heeeeeeeeee, got to make them smaller in size .., looks cuter .. Need my dearest Mae to be my tester .. :D





Hmmm.. colour wise ,.. hmmmm, maybe need to be browner ... will adjust the temp and see how .. next batch!!


Made again .. this time adjusted the oven temp ... YUMMY!!!!!!

Preparation for CNY Goodies

Yes, it's time to do the trial for my all time famous ..hahaha

PEANUT COOKIES


Made them to give to my ex colleagues to try, will be meeting them tonight - we are attending a wedding dinner together .. the cookies still maintain it's standard .. haha .. although I don't like peanuts, so for this recipe, I changed to those fine peanuts with sugar type, much nicer .. I personally felt so ..

MELTING MOMENT


This is a new recipe, I found so many raving comments so thought of trying, they are really melty .. heeeee

ALL BERRY NUTTY COOKIES


Recipe is from Jo .. I like it because there are raisins, dried cranberry, instant oats ( I changed to honey star - no oats at home .. hee )

But next round may try out white chocolate to have them ivory in colour .. :D

A cake for my buddy

Baked this fruit cake for my buddy - Carol, she is also my 3 boys' godma, she loves my boys at lot .. so I made this cake for her with all my love too! But hor!, no experience in drawing royal icing lines ... hands not steady and was shaking .. so the lines were all not straight ..hahaha



This is Carol - one of my dearest buddies .. so far, I only have 3 buddies whom always at my side .. with Alex and my two darlings .. errrrrrrrrrrrrr .. where is the cake ?? haha, she brought home to celebrate with her parents and little nephew, will wait for her to send the photo to me, and I will post again .. , so I made these 2 mini fruitcake cuppies .. just for the boys to bless her and sing the song for her .., Aleo had been waited to celebrate with her ..



This is how the fruitcake looks like, it was very soft and smell heavenly ... yummy ..!!

Sandra's Cakes

haha., don't mistaken .. I didn't make 2 cakes, the one on the right is my very humble cake - it's a vanilla sponge with 1 layer of mango freshcream filling and another layer with cherry filling .

This is my humble looking cake !! Though cant compare to the exquisite cake, but it's just something from my heart

Xmas Gathering

We were being invited by Grace to their annual family Christmas gathering this year, it's the first time we were involved after many years. They were no doubt a very fun loving group of nice people, but I am praying that they will all come to know our Lord of HIS goodness and be with us ..

As it was our last minute decision to join them, because Mike has initially signed up for the Christmas at Orchard to volunteer to help out .. however, it was cancelled due to some reason ..

So I baked the fruitcake as cuppies and really don't have much time to do the figurines but some very simple designs .. wanted to make a logcake too but .. not really sure if I can make it in time, so, a simple chocolate house filled with candies and cookies in it .., the children and even adults were very surprised when it was torn down ., thanks to the idea from my forum pal - Serene ..



















This is my very first chocolate moulded product, if only I have more time to give different colours on the house .., but I have to finish it within 1.5 hour ..

Christmas at Katong

Mr Chan Soo Sen - MP for Joo Chiat was invited to our church's annual event - Christmas at Katong.



Floats lined up ..




My boys enjoyed so much 'riding' on the floats ..










They are our church's most valuable aunties .. on the right is Aunty Kat whom brought us to Christ and to Cornerstone .. Praise the Lord! and thanks so much for Aunty Kat for praying and staying by us throughout ..
