It's all about the time I spend baking, cooking in my little kitchen with the help of 2 pairs of little hands.

chiffon salé

No, I am not selling chiffon cakes, nor is there any chiffon cake on sale. The word salé is a French word, which means salted. My cyberfriend VB sent me this book "戚风咸蛋糕and戚风甜蛋糕" earlier this...

当圈圈遇见方方

这款oreo芝司蛋糕, 是第6个做给我家那台不用插电全自动洗碗机的生日蛋糕。不过说来 惭愧，我做给他的蛋糕一年比一年丑。虽然我不是赖小姐，但我总认 为那是因为他对我没有任何要求，即使马马虎虎做一个蛋糕来充数， 他半句怨言也没有，还夸张地对着未经修饰全裸的蛋糕说 "Oh，its a heart shaped cake!" 待人处事比较圆滑的他，和个性较冲动有话直说的我，好比一个圈圈 遇到一...

It was one of those mornings when I decided that I should bake something chocolaty... and, it has to be that classic chocolate cake that I have bookmarked for weeks. Never mind that I do not own a 15...

单反篇

最近老大好像对摄影越来越有兴趣，每次参加学校的摄影活动他都会 向摄影协会借个单反相机，通常他只把相机摆在一旁，这回却看他一 有空就那出来把玩。这可是一件好事。我个人认为摄影是一项很好的 爱好，通过摄影能培养孩子的想象力，提升审美感。对性格木纳，害 羞，做事 粗枝大叶的老大来说，我希望借助摄影活动可以让他多接触事物，培 养观察入微的能力，进而学会从不同的角度观察与判断事物。 不过我对摄影可是门外汉哦。。。我...

cupbread 杯子蒸面包

前几天在图书馆借了一本新书：《松软可口！Cupbread - 杯子蒸面包》(おいしい蒸しパン)。 之前看过好多网友都做了类式日式蒸蛋糕，但我都没试，我对蒸蛋糕 真的没什么兴趣。不过看了这本书后，被里面各式各样，小巧ver y kawaii 的蒸糕吸引住了。况且作法超简单，用料也不多，不好吃也没关系啦 ！ 说做就做，就这样花了25～30分钟，我的第一个杯子蒸面包出炉 了！真的，前后不到半个钟就搞...

又闻面包香

apple and blueberry crumble

As mentioned in my last post, my digital to-do list is quite effective. My next new bake of the year is Apple Crumble. I tend to shy away with anything that requires cooking over the stove. But at th...

struck off the list

I am not a food snob, and likely will never become one. I do not have a sophisticated palate since my diet is restricted to simple homecooked meals or cheap hawker centre food. I spent my growing up ...

Little effort yields great result

On my very first trip to the library once we came back from our trip, I zoomed in for books that are on Chinese New Year cookies or traditional asian type of cookies. I only managed to get hold of tw...

for the love of making cookies...

Warm, buttery scones are such a delight to wake up to, especially on a Sunday morning. The problem with baking away from home is, I could only stick to very simple bakes that require minima...
