What does one do when one bakes a cake and the cake falls apart when one tips it out of the pan? Go absolutely batshit cray-cray on the cake and mash it into pieces in a rage. That's what. And then, one obviously repents, decides to break up the other perfect layer as well and … Continue reading Red Velvet Cake Balls
I bought a new bundt pan a couple of weeks ago, and just really wanted to try making a giant donut. There was no special reason behind it, I didn't have a recipe that I've been DYING to try... I just wanted to use the pan. Cos donuts are cute, but giant donuts are even … Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Donut Cake
Cakes don't have to be fancy or have revolutionary flavour combinations to be delicious, in fact sometimes during a bad day, a slice of the simplest cake can do wonders. To be honest, I haven't had a basic yellow cake with chocolate frosting for a very long time, and for the past few weeks I … Continue reading The Most Basic of Cakes
Before we begin, let me just warn you that this entry may be a tad image heavy, despite the fact that by the time I got to photographing the cupcakes there were only two left... they were so cute, and the lighting was working so well for me that I got totally carried away! Anyhoo, … Continue reading Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
I baked the Best Cupcakes Ever last week, one adapted from my mother's Sarawak Layer Cake recipe, and it's turned into a neighborhood favourite! However... the bad news here is that my mum has expressly forbidden me to share the recipe. I'm sorry guys, but mum's recipe, mum's rules. She'd disown me, spill my entrails … Continue reading Secret Family Recipe
My best-friend, Jess, is surprisingly quite fussy with her food. I assumed she was very much like me, where I am willing to eat almost anything (lol) but I've learned in the past few months that there's a lot of things I like, that she can't stand! I am now keeping a list of things … Continue reading Brownie Cheesecake
As we all know by now, I'm a fan of putting things in other things (lol...that's... what... she said? I don't know. There's a joke here). My brother wants me to create an Inception series, and while I like this idea, I have to brainstorm to get some inspiration for this. I had a Reese's … Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Buttercup Cupcakes
I've got to work on my self-restraint. Honestly. Maybe I'll start tomorrow. After frosting my White Roses cake, I found myself with quite a bit of frosting still left on my hands... and I figured... why the hell not bake cupcakes to just use it up?? It would be like making mini versions of the … Continue reading Cupcake Mania
It's my brother's 10th birthday tomorrow, but like I was told recently "You don't need an excuse, Nabs." So I'm going to say this upfront, as much as I love this kid and love spoiling him with sweets, I baked a cake today for my own satisfaction and not really for him. Does that make … Continue reading A post of many firsts
