Cakelets

These are little cakes - size of a saucer. They were made for our family dr and a close friend in town. They love it!

Hello Kitty Birthday cake

My MIL wanted a Hello Kitty (HK) cake for her birthday. I wanted something that is original in design, not the usual HK head cake..so I thought what about HK in a garden, since my MIL loves gardening. And voila, here you go...

And the inside of the cake looks like this ...Vanilla with lemon curd and covered with buttercream

Thanks for looking ;)

Indonesian layer cake

This cake is also known as Dutch layer cake due to Indonesia used to be colonized by them. But I have yet to find the Dutch recipe for comparison.

This cake involves 25 egg yolks and hours of grilling, layer by layer. The first layer was baked and subsequently the rest were grilled. So if you do not have 2-3 hours to spare, and lotsa patience sitting by the oven, then this is not the cake to bake. Now I know why they charge so much for this cake.My husband asked what is with the beeping every few minutes ;)

But if you do bake it, you will know the time you spent in the kitchen is well worth it. It is sooo good..my mum-in-law who is part Irish/Scottish said she never had anything like this before. We were both gobbling it down in front of the tv.

If you want to try to bake it yourself, the recipe can be found here

Purse cake

I have some leftover fondant and thought I will try my hand on a purse cake. Purse and shoes cake are like the craze now and so why not. It was a bit too dark for me to place it at the usual spot for photography....and I was rushing to start cooking for dinner and so, I touched up the background a little to hide the messy background.

This simple purse cake serves 4-5 persons. Cake is covered with buttercream and later with fondant. Decorations are fondant and edible pearls.
