ondeh ondeh cupcakes with gula melaka fillings

It has been a long long while since last update. I have been busy with my two little darlings & hardly have time to bake. I have tried out a few new recipes but this ondeh ondeh cupcake recipe is my favourite at the moment. =) I love asian kuehs & ondeh ondeh kueh is my all time favourite. I can't describe how heavenly it is when you take a small bite & the gula melaka lava just flow into your mouth. YUMZzzz to the max!! The cupcakes already taste very yummy without the coconut swiss meringue frosting. I prefer to top them with fresh grated coconut flakes just like the original ondeh ondeh kueh. Cupcakes shown above are baked with desiccated coconut as I don't have freshly grated ones at home. If you can try with the freshly grated one you will love it!!

keep calm & have a baby... again!! =)

First of all, sorry for the lack of baking posts... My blog has been collecting cowebs!! Well, as what the title says, yes I'm preggie with my second baby darling!! =) And this time round I have suffered serious "evening sickness". I have never ever puked so much in my life... =( Goodness gracious me!! I see the toilet bowl more than I look at the mirror haha... Lunch/dinner is just like going for food tasting session. Food can never stay long enough in my stomach... This is the first time in my life I don't look forward to dinner... On top of that I have trouble sleeping, bad heart burn & unbearable toothache which caused me headache. Sigh... I do hope that all these discomfort will soon be gone & I can resume my weekly baking again!!

I do hope everyone is well =) I miss baking so much but there's very little I can do right now. The smell of raw eggs can made me nauseous & I'm really drained. I do hope I can share with you more new bakes & exciting recipes soon... Meanwhile, take care & happy baking!! Hugz!!

rum & raisin ice cream... simply heaven!!

Udders & Häagen-Dazs served real good rum & raisin... so smooth creamy with lots of raisins plumped in real goodness rum!! Hubby & I are crazy over rum & raisins ice cream! Its our all time favourite =P So when I finally got my ice cream mixer, rum & raisin is definitely on top of the list!! I have gotten The Perfect Scoop from Amazon & this recipe is just perfect!! So so so goooooooood & creamy!! The best thing is that we can have it any time any day right @ home =)) You HAVE TO TRY THIS!!! =p

strawberry chantilly cream puffs... delicious

Sorry for the late post... Been feeling a bit under the weather recently... =( 

Well, I love love love cream puffs!! I just couldn't get enough of them. I'm sure most of you are familiar with Beard Papa's famous cream puffs, japanese version which is filled with crème pâtissière. But I would like to fill these puffs with either durian cream or chantilly cream which is light like ice cream!! =) It is not as difficult to bake as it seems... In fact they are surprising quick to get together & wow your guests!! =)

dark chocolate cupcake with peanut butter... so good...

I baked this dark chocolate cupcake sometime back in June for our dear friend's bday. We didn't get to celebrate with him & his family this year as his wife just gave birth to the sweetest baby girl!! =P We drop by their home to visit the little princess & the bday dad. Not in mood to frost the whole cupcake so I filled it into the center of the cupcake, just another way of eating the cupcake without too much mess. Glad that our dear friend loved the cupcake & he mentioned the frosting is like ice cream!! =) So if you are craving for dark chocolate dessert this is the one you should try!! =P Happy baking!!

old fashioned chocolate cake... so happy...

Specially baked this chocolate cake for our dear friend's daughter katelyn!! =) I remembered we planned to attend her 1 year old bday party two years back & who knew that morning I had my contractions. =P So instead of celebrating Katelyn's bday, I have landed up in delivery room waiting the arrival of my darling boy. Well, time flies & Katelyn is already 3 year old this year. Happy birthday to you pretty gal!! 

caramel popcorn vanilla cake...

Oh my! Time flies too fast... My dear darling Kyler has turned 2 this September!! & I have been busy planning his bday party lunch for him. This year I have decided to bake him a birthday cake... *cold sweat* 

madeleines... a perfect tea snack...

Gosh! Its been a long while since I last updated my blog... Every weekends are packed with activities & gatherings!! =P I didn't get the chance to try out new recipes & I just served my usual go-to bakes to my dear guests.

I baked these yummy madeleines last month when I had a mini tea party with the gals. =) I have never eaten nor made madeleines in my life... haha =P it was a perfect event for trying out the madeleines recipe!
