Butter Cookie

Today, I baked Cookies using the disney mould that my collegue got for me from Japan,
cant wait to try them. So as usual I tried out HHB recipe.
I read from many bloggers that its quite difficult to cut out but surprisingly I manage to
mould them without much difficulty. Even my two children have no problem but I need
to help them to carry the moulded pooh and piglet gently over the baking tray. Its like
handling a new born baby ! I guess one of the trick is to place flour on the cutter before stamping on the dough.



Its tastes so great as its crunchy, buttery and melts in the mouth according to my son and husband. Now only a few pieces left.
Next time will bake double portion.

Chocolate Gateau

sMy first attempt of a chocolate cake for my dear father's 72th birthday. This cake is make of love, sweat etc but not blood....hahahaha..Mixed with almond powder and its chocolaty...The looks so so as my piping skills really need alot of practice. It look like "sh**" so I added almond flakes to cover up....
I was so excited that because of this cake, I went all the way to Sunlik - opposite Raffles Hotel to buy most of the ingredients n also the birthday tag.

Everyone says it tastes very good, but most importantly my dad was in all smiles during the whole celebration.



This orchard is a real survivor, has been like this for about a month already, and
its still growing another new stalk.
