Special Occasions


German Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - I have paired this German Chocolate cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, a deviation from the usual Chocolate Ganache.  Depending on the richness, German Chocolate cake is sometimes very sweet and rather heavy but this cake remains moist and soft even when refrigerated.  This cake has the nice richness of chocolate with the mellowness of the cream cheese.

The cake was baked for the VFC Youth Cell member's birthday celebration at my home last night. 

Request: Any cake , cheese can?? 

As Cheesecake cannot be baked at the 11th hour, I then decided to put together the 2 ingredients that teenagers love, Chocolate and Cheese, thus the above cake was born.

It is always a delight to see how teenagers devour cakes with their hearty appetites!!

Perennial Favourites


Milk Madeleines - These are an adaptation of the western madeleines...much lighter with a fragrance of milk.  It has a creamy texture as some of the flour has been replaced with powdered milk. 

Milk Madeleines can be baked in the traditional madeleine moulds but I wanted to do it in little petite cupcake cases.  These are excellent just plain as they are , with a hot cup of tea.  Leave it unadorned so that one can taste the creaminess of the cake.

Special Occasions


Buttermilk Walnut Cake - This cake was baked for our Church Divisional Missions Rally gathering where all the Cell groups of Men, Women and Youth come together to hear the message of Missions and also to have a time of fellowship of food and chatter.

Each member contributed and we had a tableful of food with mee goreng, chicken wings, agar agar, apricots,  tortillas, chocolates and different types of fruits.

The beauty of the fellowship is that we have the Wisdom and Honour of the grey-haired who have gone out to Missions as examples to the youth and the rest who has yet to take the step forward.

Cheesecake


 Chocolate Marshmallow Cheesecake with Hazelnut Grappa - This cake is super rich, super chocholaty and super cheesy.  Definitely for someone who loves their chocolate + cheese.  With the addition of marshmallow, it just gives the added oommpphh!!

This cake was a celebration of my sons' birthdays.  We wanted to make the cake fun so my sis and I decided on a Beary tea party' as the decor for the cake.  It was actually very interesting to do the little details of the decor ie the tea pot, saucer, tower of cupcakes and of course, the star of the party, the bears.  Each detail was lovingly handpainted.

To my sons, Nicholas and Nigel - I thank GOD each day for both of you.  May you be blessed abundantly on your special day.

Special Occasions


Traditional Sugee Cake - This cake was baked for my church , Victory Family Centre Myanmar Outreach.  I have done a local favourite cake for the Myanmarese so that they would have a taste of a cake that is unique and is not so easily obtainable in any cake shops.
