Blissful memories with a stack of red roses

Let's face it. No one is more sensitive to the subtle nuances of color than a bride. I think a good starting point for mixing patterns is color. Whether your color palette leans toward bright red, cheerful yellow or deep, shadowy blues, this vivid charming wedding cakes make a stunning statement.

Why not borrow something when it comes to ideas for your wedding cakes too? Even better, a cake that references something close to your heart will make a statement that's all your own. My personal inspiration came from the color scheme for the whole wedding decoration ideas according to the groom when he called me to place the order.


The 3 tier wedding cake hand finished in buttercream, i used tightly grouped sugar-paste roses to dress up top part of the cake and simple piping technique applied for the side decorations. The treat inside combines moist vanilla butter cake and blueberry filling.

Layers of meaning and layers of blueberry filling-what could be sweeter than that?

Pineapple Tarts, a classic Chinese New Year cookies that everyone loves!

Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are usually consumed during the Chinese New Year season. While pineapple tarts are usually eaten during the Chinese New Year, they are sold all year round by commercial bakeries and by souvenir stores serving tourists.

For the whole year without failure, i will bake a pineapple tarts according to the order for any season especially during Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Christmas. Making pineapple tart is not that easy as some of you think. Even the process of making pineapple jam is just a breeze. Starts from peeling pineapple, painstakingly gouge out the eyes from the fruit, grated and finally spend four to five hours stirring over the hot stove until the pineapple mixture changed color from bright yellow to golden brownish.
  
So here i am sharing with you a few picture for the whole process of making pineapple tarts with homemade pineapple jam!
