having hardly any time to breathe

for those having a great lazy weekend.... Good on you! *envious eyes*
*laughs* sorry for being behind on my blogging...be certain that after saturday, long "daily" runs of posts should be popping up considering how I've been cooking lots...but hav'nt been blogging at all!
Here's a little activity to keep everyone occupied while I run through the storm in my kitchen. Flour, sugar and eggs have been the only things on my mind the past couple of days.
Anyhoo...here are several photos I've randomly snapped for everyone to have a guess at what I've been up to in my kitchen lately. I shall speak more about them in my upcoming posts.

The chocolate pudding type thing looks good.

Also I see you have done your friends engagement cake I guess since the cake is fruit cake and decorated with white cream.

lex: nahh i was engagement party..and catering a sperate 21st...and friends 21st cake at ngiht and a cake order in the afternoon ;) hahaha

robyn: I'm glad its over now ;) haha I have more time for my dear blog <3

white polar: Haha thanks heaps :) Exams didn't go too well :( unfortunately LOL...but its k, its only 6%

bejewelled: WoW! haha good guessing list! hahaha almost all right, but not to the dot, you'll see them pop up soon in the coming days.

thanh: It wasnt exactly a fruit cake, it was orange chocolate chip and iced with buttercream

liss: thanks for the thoughtful encouragement, it's comments like these which make me feel blogging and hours in the kitchen is worth my time. LOL

thecoffeesnob: Hmmm i get them from my local supermarket, try a deli if youre in southeast asia.. Try a european import deli :)

anonymous: that is right ;) Haha

michie: heya~ I think most of the time our frostings are too runny because we hang back on the sugar proportions. It cna be very scary when you follow recipes to the dot and halfway through i often think "I dont think i need THAT much sugar" hahaha...If you're still keen on make a soldi fluffy frosting, try diluting a tsp or 2 gelatin leaves, powder into a couple drops of hot water and beating it with the frosting. It would keep it firm. I use that with whipped cream quite often when I layer cakes.
