Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
In this post I’d like to share with you my way of creating tall whipped cream cakes. I will also show you how to cut multi-layered cake like a pro. I learned it the hard way as my first tall cake was a total failure! Back in December, 2017, I made a tall cake out... Continue Reading →
I saw some pink lemons at the grocery store the past weekend. I’ve only heard about them so I bought some home out of curiosity. Pink variegated lemons have yellow-and-green-striped rind which fades when ripening.

Liège waffles are my favorite waffle type recently as I like the crispy shell and the soft and slightly chewy center.

An easy way to fix/mask this is to pump it up with tasty filling... Continue Reading →

The cupcake recipe was a modification of my Vanilla Chiffon Cake. I have increased the flour amount for a stronger structure which prevents the cupcakes from... Continue Reading →
A reader asked me if it was possible to use my Fluffy Chocolate Cupcakes recipe to make a chocolate layer cake for fondant cake. My answer was a no as the cake is too soft and fluffy so would be easily distorted. When the fondant is draped over, the icing may gradually ooze out from... Continue Reading →
If you ask me which type of cake I like most, my answer would definitely be chiffon cakes. They are moist and tender. They are soft and fluffy (I will show you a video of my springy cake at the end of this post). They are easy to make and the recipe is versatile enough to... Continue Reading →
I couldn’t resist the price reduction so purchased my first airfryer during the Black Friday sale in November. Today I’d love to share with you my doughnut recipe. Fried doughnuts have been on my to-make list for a long time but the messy and unhealthy frying part has discouraged me from making them. I do... Continue Reading →
