in love with pavlova...

Our family loves this particular passion fruit meringue cake from The Patissier. Its not only our all time favourite cake but every one has tried it rave about it. =) Yes! It is that GOOD!! A light sweetened meringue sponge cake filled with a burst of flavour from passion fruit mousse, fresh mangoes and strawberries. Simply HEAVEN!! 

oh my nutella!!

Nutella is probably one of the best invention of mankind... =P Yes I love love love Nutella!! There are so many ways to eat this delicious spread other than a spoon & baking muffin with it is another great way to start the day!! Be prepared for a little lava surprise as you bite into the centre of the muffin. Its simply HEAVEN!! This is a yummy comforting snack you could eat any time, day or night. Try it!! Enjoy. =)

spread the love... pretty heart swiss roll =) 彩繪蛋糕卷

I was surfing for dulce de leche recipes when I came across this pretty cake!! This oh-so-pretty swiss roll aka deco roll immediately caught my heart!! I'm sure no one could ever resist such a pretty sweet swiss roll!! So instead of baking dulce de leche cupcakes I landed up baking this yummy sweet roll!! =) Hubby is always sweet & very complimentary of my baking attempts, even though they aren't the tastiest. However, I really think he meant it this time when he said these were absolutely yummilicious!! He almost finished half a roll by himself!! Teehee =p

hokkaido milk loaf... soft, fluffy & therapeutic!!

I am crazy about baking breads these days!! =) I have been surfing around for yummy recipes which I know the family can enjoy as breakfast & as well as tea time snacks. So when I came across this soft Hokkaido bread recipe which seem very popular among bloggers, I knew I have to give it a go. 

I know that most of us don't have the habit of baking breads at home as it is so convenient to buy it from bakeries & malls. Why go through all the trouble to bake a bread when you can just easily grab yummy breads at stores? Well, I personally think homemade bread is much healthier in a way you can control the use of chemicals & is much nutrition. For me, its not just the final product that I relish; it is also the process of making a soft fragrant bread from natural ingredients such as flour, water, yeast etc. I find baking very therapeutic & its great accomplishment for me to see my love ones enjoying the bakes.

old school luncheon meat bun...

Luncheon meat bun has always been my favourite type of bun!! I could eat these buns every single day & never get tired of them. Teehee =P Who can resist such sweet soft fluffy bun with savoury yummy luncheon meat fillings?! Its such a comfort snack from childhood memory!! 

chocolate cheddar cream cheese bun...

I have been wanting to bake some bread & this chocolate bun recipe seems quick & easy for amateurs like me. The bread turned up fluffy & pillowy soft!! It tasted amazingly good when it was hot. The melted cheese lava oozes out when bitten into it. Both my husband & bb loved it a lot!! hehe The only feedback from hubby & my mum is that the filling is a bit too much. If you aren't a fan of cheese, do reduce the quantity of the cheese filling or substitute with other fillings. =)

retail therapy...

Its every cook/baker's dream to have a spacious well-stocked pantry. Not only you will be well prepared to whip up quick tasty meal or desserts, you will also save time & money in the long run. As I am getting more into baking I need to stock up my relatively new baking pantry so I can breeze through the prep work easily & quickly.

style, shoot & be merry... behind the scene

Another great day at shoot with my favourite team (Irene & Audrey from Culinary Adventures & Sam from i2i photography)!! =) Though the timeline was challenging, we managed to pull it off with flying colours and of course to the delight of our beloved client. =)
