Custard Puffs

Samuel rang me up asking if I was available on Labour Day to teach him and Michelle on how to make Mango Pomelo. I agreed. So they were here at my place on a sunny afternoon, learning to make this yummilicious dessert. I also showed them how to make custard puffs as well. Glad all turned out well.

Gummy Toppers for Cupcakes

Baked some cupcakes for DS' cell group meeting on a Saturday and packed a few boxes with a mixture of cupcakes, spongecake slices and muffins for my colleagues in Malaysia.

I used some of the colorful gummy toppers which I bought from SS recently for the cupcakes.

Traditional Cakes

These traditional cakes brought back old memories to me. Do you?

During my younger days, these cakes were served commonly at weddings. My dad used to bake these for us when we were young. I remembered we could eat few slices at one go. "We" = siblings and myself :)

The cakes were well-liked by everyone who ate.
