My Favourite Cake

This is my all-time favourite chocolate cake from Four Leaves. I've bought this for Jerome's birthday before I knew how to bake and decorate cakes. Yes, I bought my favourite cake for Jerome so that I can eat it :)

What I love about the cake is between all the rich and smooth chocolate cake and chocolate moose, there is a crispy layer. Don't know what's that. The next time I eat this cake again, I'm going to 'dissect' it and find out exactly what it is. Going to try to 'duplicate' it at Sheryl's Kitchen :P Anyone knows what's that crispy layer?

Strawberry & Longan Fruit Cake

Made this cake for a friend's birthday. It is an improved version of the logan & lychee fruit cake I've made last Sunday. See how strawberries brighten up and add colour to the entire cake? Well, red and white also happen to be Singapore's national colours. So for a birthday's celebration that's so close to National Day (9th August),  this cake is just right.

I'm pleased with how it looked and tasted. The birthday gal couldn't believe I could create such a cake. She remarked, "No wonder your husband keeps you at home..." 

Chocolate Cake with Strawberries

Made this simple chocolate cake covered in choclate ganache and strawberries for my sister SL's birthday back in April. I'm glad that she love her cake :) A year older, a year wiser... Aim for the stars!

Mango Fruit Flan Cake

Baked this mango fruit flan cake yesterday to celebrate my father-in-law's 70th birthday. Nothing fanciful like a peach shaped cake, this is what I can manage at the moment. It's been a while since I baked and decorated a cake. Been too busy at work. Anyway, since I'm going on leave again, I'll be back to baking, cooking & blogging soon :P

Mango Fruit Flan Cake

I think it's difficult to cut the mango into uniform slices and lay them nicely on the cake. So I cut them into cubes instead.  Somehow, the sponge cake turned out to be really soft and fine yesterday and my mum-in-law commented that it was the best that I've baked so far, better than a store-bought cake that they just had the day before. This cake is just right after a steamboat. Jerome was disappointed that I didn't keep any cake left for ourselves. So, I've promised to make another mini mango cake just for him. 

It's great to be baking again :)
