The baking attempt

I *heart* baking. Yes, i do. You would be surprised. The other girlie thing which i would like to do besides shopping is to bake! See, i ain't that shallow after all :P

Due to the heavy workload as I climb the corporate ladder in this rat race world, i hardly have the time to bake. Nonetheless, i still stand by to my ultimate ambition: to be a rich tai tai where i get to stay home and bake! don't we all have that ambition? :P
However, rare occasions made me make time to do so.

I wouldn't say I've baked mind-blowing cakes but I'm satisfied with what I've TRIED baking so far. Well, at least those who ate survived. :P

My previous baking portfolio: muffins/cupcakes, sponge cake, apple pie(mummy's scrumptious secret recipe *wink*)
And now, to add on to that I've attempted to bake my first chocolate cake!(by request)
Call me a freak but nope, i still do NOT fancy chocolates (:

Coming back to my experimental baking story, here are some pictures of the process:-



Anyways, here's the result from the hard work ( sweat + saliva) poured in as I attempt to bake a birthday cake this weekend for an old friend. The taste? priceless.


Ta da!

Rebecca's version of choco cake. It looks more like a brownie :P

To my surprise, the cake turned out fine. Mummy would seriously be proud of me. Thanks for lending me your precious oven (:


The white mouse.
( well, one thing wise about getting a doctor as your white mouse is you get to save up on medical fees for the post effect from consuming my food! haha. Looks like i've made the right choice in choosing the right white mouse to take up the challenge:P )




Blessed quarter century uncle! (:


I'm glad you liked it.
