Cheesecake

Oreo Mini Cheesecake

I loooooove Oreo, it is my favorite!!!! I twisted the orignal recipe a bit. Instead of lemon, cream cheese and some butternut biscuits. I added chocolate bits and coconut to the cream cheese mixtture. Instead of butternut biscuits, I used Oreo - this took the flavor to the next level!!!

Baby Shower

Melting Moments

Hmmm... what do you feel like eating when you are pregnant??? ..... Melting Mements!!

I went to a baby shower, the mother-to-be asked me to make some melting momemts. So I brought out my beloved Poh's Kitchen cookbook out and there it is - melting moments with lemond curd!!

When I first read the recipe... from a pharmacist point of view, it is more like a blocking moments than a melting moments. The amount of butter and sugar in this baby - oh my goodness... it is like when it melts in your mouth the moment you eat it... when it gets down to your arteries - it blocks.... anyway....

Well, everyone enjoyed it!!! Really it wasn't THAT bad. Not that you can many of those anyway. I adjusted the amount of sugar as well. So the lemon curd wasn't too sweet and the acidity of the lemon just gave it a bit of punch - a job well done!

Winnin the Pooh with KitKat and Smarties

I was asked to make a cake for a friend's 21st birthday party. She wanted a smarties cake with KitKat. This girl loves Winnie the Pooh, so she wanted me to incorporate that to the cake.

I made Winnie the Pooh and Piglet out of coloured chocoalate. This is a 3 layer- chocolate mud cake with caramel cream filling. So... what do you think?

International Women's Day 2012

I made this chocolate fudge muffins to celebrate the International Women's Day at the local high school.

These muffins are covered with purple icing because it is the colour for the event.

I also made some extra ones with the chocolate drizzle for our afternoon tea lol!!!

This is how you make a swimming pool cake

A swimming pool cake...

Hmmm... This week's challenge was to make a swimming pool cake for a birthday party. After browsing the internet and done a few sketches, I started making my boys. I wanted this cake to be fun, exciting, energetic and colourful, so water slides, pool noodles, palm tree, water pistols, lifesaver, beach balls, crazy boys' hairstyle, swimming pool signs etc would be what I aimed for!



Also, it is because the cake is for a boy's birthday party, I wanted a lot of chocolate and lollies on it!

The cake is made out of vanilla sponge, then covered it with white chocolate ganache. The ground is made out of white chocolate and chocolate rocks. Instead of sculping a lifesaver, I used the Lifesaver lollies instead. The fence of course is made out of KitKat - I think the kids will go nuts with that!!!
