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.













Colorful Piping Jellies

Ingredients:
1 Bottle - Piping Jelly
Food colors of your choice (I used Red, Yellow and Green)

How to do:
1) Divide the piping jelly into 3 portions.
2) Add food colors (red,yellow & green) into each portion. Mix well.
3) Scoop the mixture into piping bags, pipe lines on top of frosted cake.

Hello,

Those in red, yellow and green, are they fruit jams? If not, mind to share the recipe? Thx!

Lynn,

They are not fruit jams. They are piping jelly. Just add your desired food color. You can get them from Phoon Huat.

These are really lovely. How is the cream prepared? Is it simply whipped cream?
