I’m back after so long, that it feels almost like I’d been in exile! But instead I have a story for you! A story that is recorded in the annals of my family’s history….. A long, long time back, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and the internet was born, there was a woman (she may, …
Nope! This is not a recipe for making a burger and frying crinkle cut potato chips. I don’t teach you how to make mustard and home made tomato ketchup. Or even how to whip up sesame buns in half an hour. I just want to help you make it— in Cake! Yup….you heard me right. …
A brand new client, a carved 3-dimensional cake and non stop rain in Singapore! A three fold challenge!

I loved making this cake- this time with some planning and preparation. Which means I went out and bought kit kats. Which kid doesn’t like kit kats? Heck, who doesn’t like kit kats? I had a hard time not eating all of them myself! Three layers of delicious chocolatey goodness, sandwiched together with milk chocolate …
I have many recipes for chocolate cake, and each time I think I’ve found my ultimate one, a new cake comes along, and I absolutely have to try it. I just can’t pass it up! I read about Tish Boyle’s Deep Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, on several blogs and decided I’d try them out. I made …
