Ella, Sri Lanka – Hello Ella & Ella’s Rock.

Day 5 *Continued: Flo and I were determined to soldier our way onto the train to Ella especially seeing that the station was packed with tourists and backpackers heading the same way. When the train slid into Nanuoya Station, we tried to find the second class cabins, only to wind up in third class in…

I haven’t been posting much the last few months and have been declining cake orders here and there not because I didn’t want to take them, but because I really couldn’t. Nausea; vomiting; fatigue, really made it difficult to stay on my feet for hours on end and honestly, most of my first trimester was spent sleeping. So yes, Flo and I are now into our second trimester and expecting thirty little fingers and thirty little toes to join us by year end! We’re so excited to meet our three dumplings and pray they will continue to grow well, and stay in my belly for as long as possible. With Siu Mai, Har Gao, and Xiao Long Bao steaming away, baking will be taking a backseat indefinitely. I hope to spend the rest of my pregnancy nourishing these babies well, and post-pregnancy, I plan to focus on motherhood. I don’t plan on posting about our babies on social media, or our pregnancy journey so this is likely to be my final post. It’s been a fun journey and I am thankful that you all joined me, supported me, ‘liked’ my bakes. Perhaps in the future, I’ll return to churning out cakes. Who knows?! For now, remember that wherever there is cake, there will always be happy smiles. I hope you always have cake wherever you are! #triplets #rennetantriplets #wearepregnant
Rainbows outside and inside with lychees and rose... Makes me think how much people are like cakes - what you see on the outside is just a mere mask hiding away what’s on the inside. Some look magnificent but are really dry and forgettable; others look plain but are actually full of exciting bursts of flavours. Bottom line? Don’t judge until you dig a little deeper.
Gluten free. Raspberries. Lemon. Almonds. I haven’t been posting up so often but the oven’s still running and butter is still being creamed. Some days I’m dusted in flour and sugar, other days I’m not. Still loving what I do, but not necessarily posting up all of what I do ☺️
A lion for Leon - a roaring first birthday cake consisting of chocolate and lemon curd! So glad Leon was able to celebrate his birthday albeit a couple weeks late because of HFMD. His mummy told me that he’s all better now (yay!) and definitely deserving of lots of cake and goodies!
A Honey Sponge Cake with Green Apple and Fig Compote for Easter. Yet another fun cake to make for a regular customer whom I am super blessed to have! ☺️🐰 . Hope you all had a lovely Good Friday/Easter weekend remembering the ultimate sacrifice our Lord made for us, as well as His rising from the grave. . “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17. Thankful for God’s faithfulness and blessings this March/April. His love is beyond my comprehension; it is steadfast and never ceases. ❤️
Our first foster dog, Kawaii, just left to his furever home nearly a week ago and we’ve just had baby Truffles join us yesterday. He’s a timid little thing so he’s got lots of room to grow in confidence (and size). Have been cleaning poop and pee since he arrived, though I’m hopeful he’ll quickly learn to use the proper area to relieve himself soon. All the excitement of a puppy and cleaning up after one had me hankering after some comfort brownies. Made these gluten-free using hazelnut flour but don’t be fooled. They’re richly indulgent and immensely chocolatey. I flavoured them with a concoction of cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cardamom and black pepper, and topped with the roasted cashews. It’s the best way to unwind after countless floor scrubs!
Strawberry Coffee Cake with Walnut Crumble. Sometimes the greatest pleasures in life come from the simplest of things.
First birthdays are huge milestones so it’s truly a blessing being able to have friends from years ago reach out to ask me to bake for their children. In a way, it’s awesome being able to be a part of these celebrations while also keeping up with short conversations on how they’re doing. This is a two-tier How to Train Your Dragon cake with the top tier being a lychee cake and the bottom, a chocolate cake. Another fun cake to make! I hope that little Shane enjoyed it with his mummy, daddy and big brother. I’m sure he knows just how very special and loved he is! 😊
Even man’s Best Friend is deserving of treats. Made these whole-wheat pumpkin treats for our dear doggo which are even healthier than any human treat ever made. Warms my heart when I see him chomping on them (I usually give them in quarters or halves) after he responds to ‘Sit!’. Only works when we’re at home because there’s too much to see and too little time when we’re outdoors.
