Pineapple Shaped Tarts
































This round, I decide to try by using my own pineapple jam. Is a hard work after all,with all the stirring and cooking and baking and shaping...but oh mind, I still love the smell from oven which remind me of mum'sbaking last time when we were young Consuming Pineapples are rich in manganese, a trace mineral that is needed for your body to build bone and connective tissues The benefits of pineapple when you have a cold or cough are the same as the benefits of orange juice, but there is an additional benefit of pineapple. Bromelain, which is found in pineapples, has been found to help suppress coughs and loosen mucus.

Rolled Pineapple Tarts





























Using the same ingredient. I tried to roll up the pineapple tart and I guess I will prefer the flower shape which every bite bring me back to the olden time

Tradtional Flower Pineapple Tart


































The shape alway remind me of how mum baked her pineapple tart and sealed them into tightly ...SUPER TIGHT milo container to keep for chinese new year......but in the end, still to end up in me and my siblings mouth while stealing her tarts from the container and "TA-BAO"

Peanut Power Ball



































Mum has left me with a mission to clear the inventory stock of peanut powder in my fridge...
So I came up with the Peanut ball cookies...hoping that I get the kick of Peanut..
Peanut is very high in antixidantion and definately a good source of skincare to benefit from getting old

Rich Oreo Chocolate Brownies




















































THis is a bitter sweet chocolate brownies because I used to use bitter chocolate and less sugar instead after feeling gulity to having soo.....much chocolate in my stomach that I felt so greedy for more

Oat Cookies



































I love at this 1st sight which I baked it quite closed to Famous Amos... Mini sizes and enough to place into the mouth and pop into the mouth while watching movies
Is also my great gift for Teacher's day

Jumbo Chocolate chip




































Jumbo Chocolate chips goes very well for those who love to bite it roundly manner!
Of course, is a good treat to bake it with stick and wrapped as a gift for children day too!

Corn Flake cookies






















This is the 1st time I baked using cornflakes and all i have to verdict on my baking and the lesson to learn is not to make it so big for a filling to put into a mouth...
There is still cornflakes , the cruchy feeling of biting it.

Chocolate Walnut cookies




















This rich chocolate which I used Belgium one instead since the grader of the chocolate is 10 times better than normal baking chocolate, I find the walnut so attractive to chip in and bite.
The only thing is that it doesnt melted in my mouth ..definately because this is not a melting chocolate!

Caramel Chocolate Brownies

































Honestly, I love brownies a lot but due to the slices that are too much to consume and brownies are alway best taken when freshly bake on the day itself....

Almond Tart cookies


















The chinese new year baking project.
Although I have a list of only pineapple tart to bake, I went to baking store and still took my almond again...

Hesley Chocolate cookies




































So much of the benefit for a bar of chocolate, I still prefer to bite the flavour in shape of cookies. This recipe is compliment from Hesley Chocolate bars which I found in the website, baked it and topped it with icining sugar..in fact that make me feel more guilty of growing fat

Swiss Carrot Cupcake























This round instead, use the same ingredient to make into mini cupcake since the deluxe slice is soo.....delicious tasty deluxe for 1 mouth to finish...

Oreo Based Belgium Chocolate Cupcake





























I may not be a chocolate crazy fan but definately I will still try and love it although I worried my inch of fats will grow as I bited more!
Fact of chocolate : consist antioxidants ...yes, and this help us to prevent aging. Dark chocolate is 8 times more! so there went my belgium chocolate which I bought at $45 per bar.

Kenny Rogers Corn Muffin






























I love Corn - Why?? It has a high fibre content, following by Vitamin B, C and Folate. Having consume also help to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
I baked this corn muffin cupcake that smell and tasted like Kenny Roger! Oh, I love it

Icing Cup cake

































Using ready made fondant since I tried to use my gum paste (I found too hard and without the stenciling tool), so this time round, I found the ready made fondant from Phoon-huat and tried to do the icing topping with my vanilla base cupcake

Plain Jane- Coffee Cupcake
This is definately not those plain flavour, infact I have added Kalua into this flavour with additional to coffee powder..yes. This will wake you up in the night and join in the owl.

This is yet another chocolate base cupcake , this round topped with chocolate cream and garnish with a fresh cherry...and in additional, I topped it with more chocolate rice chips.





























Carrot Muffin with Colorful cream top
I must admit that this round, the colours are a bit so striking for us to attempt to try, but nevertheless, it still ended up in the mouth of other.
















Vanilla Cupcake with Caramel Topping
This is a very simple cupcake for the base, the rest of the topping - you can use your own creation to add on the flavour, be it cream form, juice form?

Blueberry Cupcake



























Blue Berry Cupcake

I preferred the healthy snack over the cream for cupcake which actually make me feel like going another round to eat.

This round, I used Frozen Blueberry instead of Fresh which is very sour.

There was a time when people got a bit crazy fan of cupcake everywhere...being cute, fancy, colorful cupcakes. Everyone love it.

Traditional Baked Sour Cream Cheese cake
























I have to admit that the appearance may not be attractive but I also have to admit that the baking process for this cake is more tedious than the non-bake Oreo Cheesecake.
Secondly, Sourcream, if you prefer non-fat, you can get them from Cold Storage.
Low in calories and sodium, sour cream fits right into busy, health-conscious lifestyles.

Each tablespoon of real sour cream contains only 25 calories, much less than toppings such as mayonnaise and salad dressings.

Lemonade Cheese Cake

Using Digestive cookies instead of Oreo Chocolate Cookies, an alternative option for those who prefer less fat and more fibre base.
