Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Here’s the recipe for a fruit tart I made for my daughter on her 13th birthday. When I asked her what she preferred, she said she loved my chocolate mousse and would like something with a crust as the base. I assume she was expecting my No Bake Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Ganache... Continue Reading →
I bought a new Silikomart mold from Amazon in March and made a mousse log for hubby’s birthday. The base unit of this mold is of hard plastic and two silicon mat inserts, one smooth and one textured, are included. The 3D effect of the stars was absolutely stunning and I really loved it.

My chocolate... Continue Reading →
I seldom pay attention to the cake trends and styles in Hong Kong bakeries but my hubby sent me some picture and the ad of a cake he tried when he was in Hong Kong in November. Out of curiosity I created a copycat version out of it. The mangoes I bought weren’t ripe enough... Continue Reading →
