Baking session with friend

This afternoon, I have a baking session with my church friend. She wanted to bake a cake for her hubby's birthday. Therefore, I guessed that we can make swiss roll which the baking time is only 15 mins.

I am not happy with my rolling as it is not round but oval. Maybe the mangoes cubes are too big.

I also use my lefover buttercream to write words on the cake. :) anyway after putting make up on the cake, it looks better.

My healthy breakfast

A few month back, my neighbour told me that her mum has been taking this oatmeal for a few years because of her weak knees. Since than she has been taking and now her knees are much stronger than before.

I also recommended this to my mum who sees result in few months after taking this.

So I also decided to take this. I usually mix 5 tbsp of instant oatmeal & 1 tbsp of honey, and pour some hot water and stir till I like the texture. Sometimes, I will add in some fruits to go along.

As my daughter sees me eat, she will also follow me. :) I think it is a good meal to start of a day for young children. ;)

Shepherd Pie for lunch

This is our lunch.

Mangoes shortcake

Instead of using strawberries for this recipe, I replace it with mangoes . I also prepared whipping cream to go along with this cake. I have a hard time whisking the cream because of the hot weather these days.

Cupcakes

Recycle Items

The recycle company will come to my estate every fortnightly to collect empty bottles or containers and I usually put all recycle items aside for them.

Hair Bands

My husband used to buy blank CD and it comes with a round box. I like to think of ways to recycle them. I also can't stand my daughter messy dressing corner, so I thought of a idea to hand her hair bands around the box.

I used blue tact to stick the bottom of the box and then pasted it on the side of the cupboard.

Chocolate Sponge Cake with fudge

My friend asked me to bake this cake for her dearly husband.

I used valrhona cocoa powder for this cake. I heard this brand is very good so decided to try.
