Mini cake w ribena frosting top w sticky sweet

Exam are finally over!! Kiddos are extremely happy too!  

Rachel, my gal's classmate invited my kiddos over to her place to have some games after school today.  Rachel was my gal's BFF and our families are very closed knitted. We will meet up every Sunday morning for breakfast, afterwhich, Daddies will play with the kiddos while Mommies will catch up with gossips on school life/work etc.

Is kinda of rude to turn up at ppl hse empty handed right?? ^o^  so I decided to make something simple and likeable for lil kiddos. :) 

Mini cake w choc chips, top with refreshing Ribena Frosting & their favourite sticky sweets.  

Hope they have a great afternoon playing.

Earl Grey Tea Cake

Now that May is here, it's getting nearer and nearer to mid year exam, time for me to resume my favorite hobby: baking to calm the kiddos down from the stress of the oncoming exam.

This Earl Grey tea cake is a great option, it can be eaten as a breakfast, dessert, or afternoon snack.  

Was too excited when I remove it from the oven, can't wait for it to cool down, cut a small one to try immediately. Lovely smell of earl grey, cake texture is very soft, after eating, it will leave a very sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

Goes extremely well with coffee! !

Steamed Cake

A very sweet colleague brought this book back from TW for me.  This is the latest book written by a very well known Jap food blogger, Ms Junko.  I have a few of her other baking books and Im impressed by her presentation of food in this book.  Tried this steamed cake for a few times but I was not very successful in the drawing  -_-'

End up I just did some very simple design ones but I added cheese, chocolates, lian rong into the mixture before steaming and they turn out yummy.  :)
