Merry merry ho ho ho.....

This year my bunch of buddies decide to have food and beverage as the theme of gift exchange. N we need to be creative. I started with the idea to make cookies, pop cake, chocolate log..... etc.. but due to my time constraints, I finally decided to make shortbread and lamingtons as the gift.

Merry Christmas to my family and friends. Wishing the world is in peace.

Genki-desu-ka? Japanese cotton cheesecake

I failed 7 times for this cake back in 10 years ago when I first learnt to bake cheesecake. I remember my dad was the victim who was forced to finish all the fail pcs. Though it didnt look like a cake at all, but he still said 'It can be eaten, don't waste'. Then, when I successfully made it, he said ' this really looks like a cake now.' LOL....

I love the cotton-ish texture of this cake, it tastes almost like sponge cake, however it is heavy not like sponge cake which is almost weighless.

I caught this butterfly this morning on my plant. We hardly see butterfly here, so it is my honourable guest. Lovely da?

Lucheon Curl

My hubby always says bread with lucheon is the most perfect food. Well, since I promise my friends to make for them, this time I use lucheon as  my main ingredient.

My curling skill is still a beginner level, some break in between. it looks like spider catches it preys on the web.

Soft soft bun

Aha.. today I baked 10 of this beef ham + cheese. I grabbed whatever I have in the fridge and see this combination is nice for my bread. It is so fun to see the bread expanding like a balloon in the oven. They look like cute babies with fleshy limbs and smooth soft texture. I need to bake somemore for my colleagues and friends..... yaeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Birdie card

Tomorrow is my ex boss cum friend - Bee Ti's birthday. As usual, I am in rush to make the card because I need to post it out no matter what by today. I love the bird cut out, it is so freely cut and fast; within 1 min. And I free hand write the wording on the card which I never do that before. It turns out good, natural and of course sincere.
