Mooncakes

Green Tea Snowskin Mooncake - Bought some lovely mooncake moulds from my recent trip to China so I thought I would make some mooncakes this year.

Green Tea is my husband's favourite, so I started with this flavour first.  Not too bad though I personally felt the skin texture of the recipe can be further improved.  Will definitely improve on the recipe till satisfied...I have 1 year to get it right!!

My abled assistant, my son, who gave me a helping hand on these mooncakes.  Thank you , Nigel!  He love pressing them out of the mould!

Mooncake Festival Cake - A good friend of ours wanted a cake for a get-together for the Mid-Autumn Festival.  To give it a Chinese theme, I have moulded the lantern, little peonies and butterflies .  All the decorations are hand-crafted with fondant.

Wishing all a happy Mid Autumn Festival.

Rainbow Cake - This is the inside of the rainbow cake that I have posted earlier...Many folks have asked what does it look like inside...

It is rather similar to the galaxy cake ..only that this is the 7 colours of the rainbow...one will never know how the colours will play out once it is baked and the design that it will eventually turn out to be...that is the excitement of baking this cake...

Of course, you can bake it layer by layer so that you have nice layered colour...

The choice and option is yours!!  I love it this way actually!!

Rainbow Cake - With the recent demise of my father, I was wondering what cake to bake for my mother's birthday.  She didn't want any birthday dinner nor cake.  We told her that life has to go on, thus we had a small family dinner and I decided to bake her this rainbow cake.

Whenever a rainbow is seen in the sky, we are often reminded of the story of Noah and the Ark.  After the flood, a rainbow was seen and the rainbow represents the Promises of GOD.  There are numerous promises of GOD in the Bible but during this time, the most treasured and comforting is Psalms 23 which is my father's favourite Psalms..The Lord is with us to lead, restore and comfort in whatever circumstance.

Happy Birthday, Mum..

Galaxy Cake - This cake was actually baked 3 weeks ago for my son's friend.  I didn't have the time to upload it to the blog with my trip to China and thereafter,  upon my return, with the sudden passing of my Dad.

The cake was made of different colours and was done such like the tie-dye T-shirts that were so popular eons ago....It is an interesting feat on its own..It was decorated with piped cream roses at the sides and a moulded fondant Hydrangea at the top..
