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!

Happy Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day...and I wanted to bake something special for my mom-in-law. I figured that a simple bow/ribbon from fondant paste would perfectly decorate the cake I had in mind. 

But to my unfortunate...as I went into the store I normally go for my cakes ingredients, I was dumbfounded for a moment as the main ingredient to fondant paste was sold out. Knowing that I would be in short of time to look elsewhere, I had to think quick or I need to trash my thoughts of baking a cake for Mother's Day. Then, it suddenly struck me that I had always wanted to bake a carrot cake. I took out my PDA phone for the recipe which I had been saving for quite some time now and quickly grab for the ingredients that I am still lacking of at home.

So, it's Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting...(again, I failed awfully on the frosting and decorations...hehehe).

A slice of the cake, anyone? *grin*

To all mothers and mothers-to-be out there, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...to those are not mother's enjoy celebrating the day with your mother.
