Mocha Kiss Cookies

Hahhaaaa.. i forgot about how the recipe named this cookies so I just give it a name myself ^.^

Well, it didn't have the strong coffee flavor and luckily I didn't dipped all the cookies on the coffee crystal+sugar as instructed. Cause the outcome is a little bit bitter (due to the coffee crystal) and my kids wouldn't like it.

So, I was smart enough to mix a little bit chocolate rice into the batter for some of the portion. And some of it, I put a chocolate chips on top. I would opt for the Daisy Mocha Cookies if compare to this.

Rich Mocha Cake

Really rich and I felt that the Kahlua measurement was a bit too much.
However, this was my 1st attempt trying out this recipe and I gotta follow what's instructed.


I decorated it with colorful sprinkles on top of the chocolate ganache.
Taste wise, personally I feel that I can use more espresso powder instead of Kahlua. I like the texture of the cake, at least this round, I didn't bake over the time it was instructed. The density was just nice and it was not crumble at all ^.^

I would definitely try out this cake with mousse, espresso-layered-mousse-cake perhaps!

Cake Fondant Ultra Chocolate

I just made a quick search over the internet and found this recipe. This was a simple-beatless-chocolate cake! Why I said so? Cause it requires no beating and all you need to do is to hand stir all the ingredients and pour them into baking pan!

The cake rather crumble, I suspected because I put it too long in the oven cause the skewer didn't turn out clean when I tested it. So, I put it longer for another 10-20 minutes, cover with aluminum foil (to prevent burning) @ a little bit higher temperature. The cracking was all over the cake and I do not know why cause no beating as in over-beat the cake, how come like tat? :P

I brought few pieces to office and let my colleagues tried it out. They all reverted the cake was too crumble and I checked out via internet, guess too high temperature+too long (baking time)!

Note added on 13 Nov 2009: I've tried to bake this 2nd times with the syrup pouring on top. Though the cake was not as crumble as the 1st attempt, but I just not able to achieve the color/look of the original version :(

I've tried using 2 smaller loaf pans and split the batter into these 2 pans. But the outcome was: top was harden & cracked like 1st attempt (not sure if it's due to the long-baking time. This round, I be a good gal and followed the instruction to bake @ 170C for an hour) and not as soft as the original version... *sad sad*.

The taste was as described: 'chocolatey' and melt in my mouth! Will try to check out with her and see if she can advise ^.^ *pray pray*

Chocolate Truffle

Another 1st attempt, I tried to prepare chocolate truffle ^.^

It was messy!!! But daughter loves it as she can lick as much as chocolate she wants after I finished rolling the chocolate truffle on my hand.

Taste wise, well it's all depends on whether you used a nice quality of chocolate or not. And I've used 2 bars of nice quality dark chocolate and of course it's NICE!!!

I'll try to prepare this again but not rolling it with hand. Wanted to find a recipe that all we need to do is to cut them into pieces instead.

Orange Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

1st version of orange layer cake and it was nIIIiiceeee...!!! Finished the 2nd day ^.^


This is a birthday cake I baked for my youngest one, his 1 year old birthday celebration. Actually today (20th) is the actual day and we decided to have another small celebration for him just ourselves and the gu-gu family that lives nearby.


We had a birthday party for him last weekend and many relatives and kids were invited. I ordered a durian cake from Prime Deli and it was so delicious and most of the ppl wanted 2nd piece.
