Over the weekend, I had done a Gingerbread house with my 2Rs and carrot muffins by myself.

The Gingerbread was baked last week, but as I do not have the time to build up and decorate it as well as preparing the royal icing, it was put on hold till last Sat.

Yes, I know, it doesn’t have a bit of Christmas Atmosphere, but maybe the mood wasn’t there I was actually quite tired and this was done at nite, hence my brain was off. Also, my purpose was to let my gals enjoy decorating and playing with royal icing, I didn’t bother much abt the decoration / “Atmosphere”. 1st R wanted to paint the house purple, she loves purple, so we got the house painted. More can be done, but it was late, hence I had made it simple.

After going through this, I’ve decided that for my workshop, I will provide the already baked cookies (gingerbread house walls) and other decorating ingredients. I will demostrate the preparation of the gingerbread house so that you can do it when you are home. Then the “building & Construction” of the gingerbread house will be done at the workshop. This will takes lots of time as we need time for the drying and decoration. The whole purpose of the workshop is for parent-child to enjoy the bonding time, the time they share to build this project, so that over the years, you will have something to share and tell your child when they had grown up.

Yesterday, I’ve decided to bake some plain cakes for them today as breakfast / tea break….hence…. I’ve found this recipe….CARROT MUFFINS!! It’s healthy as it uses carrots and walnuts…. natural ingredients….Here’s the bake:

 

I’m very surprised!!! Ever since I’ve started blogging, I had never receive any awards and I guess maybe my blog and bake wasn’t that fantastic and I don’t have much “friends” in this “line”.

Ok, ah hem…here’s my thank note… I must thank Teresa who had given me this award for thinking highly of my Cinderalla Doll cake. Teresa, I’m sure you can do an excellent job on the Sleeping Beauty Project.

I have to pass this award to another 5 blogger, this is how the award works, hence I would like to pass this award to:

Aunty Yochana who had a blog full of wonderful goodies and generosity in sharing her recipe.

Eunice, I’m sure she had already received plenty of this kind of award, but I would just like to award to her for sharing her recipe and wonderful blog.

Rachel @ Dominique’s Desk, although this blog is not relaly food related, but her blog are full of wonderful information on childcaring and disciplinary. I’ve learnt alot from her.

Another person / blog would be Meng Choo.. She had wonderful bakes with amazing decoration. Another person who is very generous in sharing her skills and knowledge.

The last person that I would like to award this to is… Florence @ Do What I Like…. I love her blog, full of wonderful pictures, recipe and knowledge.

That’s all for the award. Ladies, you have to re-award this award to another 5 persons…..

Ok, here is what I promised….. The picture of my Cinderella Doll Cake for my 2nd R…..

 

This was a four layer cake with 3 flavours. Chocolate, Buttermilk and the usual Butter cake. This was enough for more than 20 kids! And there were left over!

On top of this cake, I’d also prepared a Cinderella Themed Cupcakes and they were the Glass Slippers….

 

I’d placed every cupcakes in a special cups which I found and these were for the children to bring home instead of those goodie bags as I’m lazy to scout around for goodie bags.

Here’s another closer up of the slipper. I hope it does look like glass slippers or rather, at least heels.

                                                       

For the success of this Glass Slipper, I would like to thanks Mongs for her guidance in helping me to make this Glass Slippers. I had initial failure, but after seeking her advice through email, I’ve managed to successfully created this for her birthday.

I’ve recently done a Cinderella Doll Cake for my gal’s 3rd birthday. I used the real Barbie doll to do it and GOSH!! It cost me $30 for the doll!! But it’s ok lah, take it as a present for her, after she cut the cake, she will have the doll to play.

I’ve also created some “glass slipper” for the cupcakes as presents for her friends who attended her birthday party. Quite happy with the result, but I think I can do better the next round.

Keep coming back! I will upload the pictures soon!!

 Haha, I did it again, the triple layer cheesecake….

For those who know me, I’ve actually started work sometimes back, and have been missing lots of bake reacently. Due to some personal reason, I’ve decided to stop working and be a SAHM once again.

The feeling was wonderful, I’m once able to bake as and when I like and will be able to catch up with my baking soon. At the same time, I’m able to nurture and giving all my attention to my little ones.

I’ll be back with more bakes and more interesting stuffs like classes and workshops. The parent-child Gingerbread House workshop will be one of them. 

At the same time, I welcome any feedback and suggestion which you have regarding my bakes and workshops. And for those who had given me your comments, thank you very much and appreciated it. I hope more comments and feedbacks keep coming in.

Christmas will be here very soon…. What are the things to do in Christmas which also the school holidays? I’m thinking of something interesting, a project to do with my children and the Gingerbread House came into my mind.

I am thinking of organising the above (Parent & Child Gingerbread Decoration Workshop) during the Nov/Dec Holiday. This is just a small project where mother / father will join forces with their children to complete this project of Building and decorating the Gingerbread house. More information will be release later.

Interested parents / child, please contact me so that I can keep you in the loop when I release more information and also depending on the no. of interested pair, I will decide more later. Most likely, it will be a weekend class unless requested. Do contact me soon!!

Haven’t been baking lately, hope some of you don’t missed me too much Haven’t been in very good health hence lesser  bake these few weeks. However, this cake had been in my mind for sometimes. Been thinking if it’s good and fudgy, so, I’ve decided to try it out myself on my special day:

Thanks for all the viewer to the post below. My apologies for not able to share the recipe as the recipe doesn’t belongs to me and I have no permission to publish it.

Really sorry for disappointing some of you.

Thanks to Euniceface from KC, these cheesecakes recipe is from her. The taste was wonderful and perfect, only catch is I should use Ganache instead of Nutella.
