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.

Mini Pancakes

Finally I did the pancakes using the pie/tart maker which I bought from Hong Kong during my holiday trip in Feb this year. The shape of these mini pancakes are very lovely:) I used the pancake recipe shared by Florence in her blog. Very yummy indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Soft & Moist Banana Cakes

Thanks Joyce (jthorge) for sharing her Soft & Moist Banana Cakes recipe. Is indeed very soft and moist. I like it! I added too much bananas and could'nt find much of the cake hahaha..however, it tasted very yummy. I made into little cups rather than in loafs as the baking time is shorter :)

My Christmas Logcakes

Made a total of 6 standard size logcakes and 7 mini ones this year only. Didn't make any x'mas cookies:( as I was having toothache and gum swelling a week before Christmas. It was really a painful week for me. Luckily the dentist managed to get it treated and recovered well so that I can make it on time to come out some bakes before Christmas Day.

Christmas Fruit Cake

Trying out different recipes on making fruit cake as I will be baking one for my dad who adores fruit cake very much. Still searching high and low for one.. just hope I can find one pretty soon:)

Thanks precious moments, my forum pal from m4m for sharing this fruit cake recipe.

More marshmallow cakes

Baked 3 marshmallow cakes at one go...oh no is 4 in total in fact. 3 I did it at home and 1 more I did it at my sis's place to show her the demo. She has been wanting to try doing it herself but no confidence to do it alone.

Peach Longan Marshmallow Cake

This is another marshmallow cake I made on the same day. I did a bigger one, double the recipe as I need to use up my whipped cream which is going to expire in two weeks time. As I only left with half can of peaches, not sufficient to cover the whole cake, both dss suggested adding in a can of Longan (their fav!). hehe... I welcome all suggestions.. Well, it tasted pretty good with the longan and peaches :)
