Welcoming Jaden Ho

Born on the first day of Chinese Lunar calendar, little Jaden is the new addition to my family. The first born to my youngest uncle and his lovely wife will be celebrating his full-moon in just couple of days. So in celebrating little Jaden's arrival, I bake him a carrot walnut cake then decorated with a cute little baby holding on his blankie. Well, since little Jaden is still too young to savor the cake, so it'll be for the proud mummy and daddy to savor then *grin*

CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of your bundle of joy!

Chocolate Mousse: Fancy yet simple

I grew up with the thought that mousse was a fancy dessert to have and obviously something that fancy would be pretty complicated to make. I would go ooo’d and ahh’d over it when were served with one! But I was all wrong until yesterday *wink* I never knew making one is just as simple as 1,2,3. I was still skeptical until I tasted it and thrilled that it was a GREAT success - it is so rich and chocolaty yet still light and fluffy. I would definitely make this again...
