A GIGANTIC THANK YOU!!! to all those who dropped by for Tea!
It was an amazing afternoon filled with food, fun, chat and blings! I'm so glad I finally got to meet those who've I've before only conversed to via email or telephone and my my, you are all really friendly and encouraging people! I want to thank all my guests for their time and feedback on my cakes/pastries and I look forward to having you ladies (and some men) over for Tea some time soon once again. ( I really shouldn't end all my sentences with exclamation marks, but I'm so blessed by those who came that I'm so excited! *Oops! Another "!"...)

Anyways, I hope all of you had as great as time as I did. Do have a fantabulous weekend peoples! *HUGS*

Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake

72. Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake
A friend of my fiance's family, Mr Victor is vegan and eats organic foods, so when he put me up for a challenge to make his lovely and most capable wife, a birthday cake, I jumped at the opportunity! Well, not before doing some research myself, that is. Victor says she makes the most wonderful Toufu cheesecake, so I wasn't about to put myself up against the best, so I opted to make an Organic Vegan Chocolate cake instead.

I prayed very hard too and Viola! My Organic Vegan Chocolate cake!

It is made of Billington's organic brown sugar, Waitrose's organic soymilk, dutch cocoa and some toufu! I topped it off with a ganache I made out of soymilk and cocoa and I must say that I am thankful for this order as it has allowed me to learn so much about baking for people of different lifestyles! Also, I must say that I am impressed with how vegans can make a cake without eggs...*Wow*

So far, I've made diabetic-friendly cakes and now, here's one more to my list - Vegan and/or Organic cakes!

Paris Sticks

Paris sticks really are super flaky, melt-in-your-mouth vienesse cookies, sandwiched with jam in the middle, and ends dipped in chocolate!

Again, these make wonderful gifts for the Christmas season!

Cupcakes

For Engagement parties!

Delightful milk cupcakes so fluffy and white, they symbolise purity. Topped with Lemon cream cheese and choice of sesame seeds or mini hearts sprinklers, these are just the perfect gift to say "Blessed Union"!

Almond Espresso Biscotti

Just in time for CHRISTMAS!
These twice baked biscotti are filled with nibs of almonds and espresso beans. They're perfect with your daily cuppa as they're absolutely aromatic! A hint of cinnamon perks your taste buds up too. And don't worry, as usual, they're not too sweet.

Novelty cakes - Made to order

ROAD TO GOLD is a cheesecake, while SILVER is Strawberry Shortcake
ACE is homemade sugarpaste and the wordings are coloured with edible GOLD & SILVER dust! How posh...!

Personal Chef on Call

I was encouraged by some gal pals to post these pictures up.

These were specially created for Pastor Edwin Wong & Lovely wife, Serene for their anniversary last year.

I was their "Chef-On-Call" for the day, except that I pre-prepared everything and delivered to their home, as me being around wasn't gonna help with the "romantic atmosphere"...

Here they are:-
