Lessons on life from a German Chocolate Cake

The past week has left me broken and shaken out of my comfort zone. There were tears and more tears, doubt, fear and endless questions. I questioned myself and the people around me. There were a lot of ‘whys’ and a lot of heart ache. I felt stranded and so very alone.
But in the end, [...]

Chocolate Guiness Cupcakes!

A friend in the UK sent me this recipe for Chocolate Guiness Cupcakes a while back, saying that they were really popular in London.
I first had my doubts. For I am not really a fan of the bitter tasting Guiness. The only time I ever had a bottle of Guiness (with mouthfuls of Kampai to [...]

Rolling Rolling Rouleau

After months of wanting to go for their baking class, I finally found some time and headed down to KL. And I had no regrets! Not a single bit! Because I had so much fun at Big Boys Oven’s baking class on Sunday, despite it being my first time attending their class. The other ladies [...]

High-Tea @ Carcosa Seri Negara, KL

I’m back from KL once again, so another KL foodie entry, though this one was from my previous trip…
I think my mouth dropped open when a friend oh so casually said “Let’s go to Carcosa Seri Negara for high tea’ . I then proceeded to say ‘Noooooo!!!’, so filled with anguish…because I didn’t bring my [...]

Carrot Cupcakes!

Photos of my carrot cupcakes….finally….

I used the carrot cake premix from Cooking Island. First time I’m using a premix actually and it really saved me a lot of hassle. All I had to do was to add in carrots, walnuts and corn oil as per instructions on the premix.
While the cupcakes were baking, I made [...]

Mille Crepe Cake – A Mouth Orgasm?!

First, apologies for not posting up photos of my carrot cupcakes yet… They turned out pretty ok and got heaped with praises! Unfortunately, being the blur sotong that I am sometimes, I accidentally left my camera at my mom’s place and so have not been able to upload photos…
To make up for that, [...]
