Black Glutinous Chiffon Cake

A chiffon cake I have baked before using ready black glutinous flour. Recipe adapted from Happy flour. (For this cake tin, I have doubled the quantity. The sugar level can be further reduced.)

Anyway a tip obtained from a book i.e to spread some batter on the rim of the baking tin to aid the climbing of the batter. Happy trying

New Books

Thanks to my dearest brother =) from Korea mochi bread flour to dozen of Taiwan books! All the way lug back to Singapore! 辛苦你了！老妈子好心疼 that you have to lug the heavy books around with you and instructed me not to give you further books order!!!

I have searched high and low for this mochi bread flour in SG but with no luck.....till brother brought it back...Then one fine day when I was at Vivo, I saw a korea shop outside Giant supermarket cant remember whats the shop name but I think it is 'Shine'....I saw a similar box on the shelves selling at $8.90....grrh.....ok ok back to the prepration of the bread.... Just add 1 egg and 70ml of water/milk into the premix, make into dough, brush with water and baked at 180c for abt 20-30 mins depending on the size of the dough. This taste nice when its serve hot.

Cup cake wrapper

First of all I must thank Anncoo for giving the idea of the cup cake wrapper. I have mark this link for quite sometime and was telling myself that I should try it out one day.....Well....the day has finally arrived....when YuWei, my baking pal I have met in Richard's Creaming class called upon me to help her bake some cuppies for her ROM. YW's suggested that she would like to have a garden theme cuppies, hence I decided to mould some bugs, bees and snails to go along with it.

During the prepration of the wrapper, I encounter a problem with the template file, perhaps its a different file extension, I was not able to retrieve it. Hence without much delay, I get one cupcake casing and start to diy the template....luckily still can make do =) Next was to source for a nice wrapper to go with the garden theme......heehee....guess what I bought this wrapper from oversea....not very far....Malaysia JB =) I chance upon this last piece wrapper when I was at the bookshop. And I think this is an ideal piece for a theme like this.

Lastly....everythings goes on smoothly and the cuppies were well received by YW's guest! Congrats to Junji and Yuwei on their BIG day!

Lady Bird?

Can you tell what is this at first sight? I saw a blog selling this cute right! I told myself it should not be that difficult to clone one, hence I bought all the material required and ready to start my cloning process. Took me 2hr plus to clone one haha...I have fun doing it but my stitching skill defintely needs to improve.



Yes this is a measuring tape. Did you get the answer correctly?


Want to clone one for yourself ? All you need is a round retractable measuring tape. felt fabric, glue, different colour thread and a needle. Happy cloning!
