Upside Down Apple Cake


One of the easiest cakes to make is this one...I used green apples and the results: worth the effort..but then again, since this was too easy to make, what effort?
And the smell...who could resist...
(The recipe taken from myresipi.com- click the title of this post and it'll get you there)

This taste wonderful when served warm alone, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream. It can be kept in the fridge, and whenever you feel like eating a piece, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds, and it will still taste nearly as good as it first came out of the oven. Trust me on this!

Pink, White & Chocolate themed cupcakes




These were orders from my cousin, which she told me to do whatever I like. So, I wanted something pretty but classy, so I chose these colours for the icing. The cake: chocolate moist cake and orange butter cake.

Cupcakes with custard powder







I found a recipe on the internet where custard powder was added in the batter. Haven't tried that before. Anyway, the results: not bad. It is definitely an added flavour and taste great when it just came out of the oven. I did some decorating and these went to my daughter's kinder...

Cupcakes!

A fun weekend project with a couple of friends...results: delish!











Thanks K. Zareena for the knowledge!

Banana Choc Chip Muffins I and II

I made these for 2 different occassions...

Muffin I


Muffin II
(with extra toppings)
These are still great after a couple of days provided you keep in an airtight container in the fridge, then microwave for a few seconds before eating them.

Rainbow butter cake

I've always wanted to bake a colourful cake and finally, I did. This is a butter cake with 4 pastel colours: yellow, baby blue, baby pink and pastel green.






Mini Donuts

So, one weekend, I felt like having donuts, but not those big ones. I wanted something small and cute. I had the mini donut cutter so the making-the-shape-part was easy. After it was done, at first I thought of just tossing them into castor/icing sugar..instead, I turned it into a mini project with my daughter and decorated them. Since they were minis..just the right size for a single bite! (maybe, two..)

Dessert Cuppies for Wedding

These are cupcakes for a wedding, not as door gift but as desserts. Initially, I wanted to stick to one pattern, one colour which would be easier for massive production. But then, I thought, why not jazz it up by having several colours and let the guests wanting to try 'em all?







also mini ones for the main table...

Chocolate Cake with Strawberries

I made a chocolate cake with cream cheese filling, with chocolate ganache and topped with halved strawberries. This was for a party at a friend's house. The cake arrived and gone within minutes!

sloppy sides, picture taken before I repaired them...

1 Year Old Cake


Here's a No.1 cake that I baked last year and decorated without any tools at hand..hence, the sloppy finishes but one very happy birthday boy (my son, that is...)
