By Mable Tan • Jul 26th, 2008 • Category: Cupcakes

Do you have your cupcake hat on? Are you ready for a cupcake fest? Are you absolutely passionate about cupcakes? Are you positively mad about little cutesy sweet toothy cupcakes? Are you?? Are you???



Cherry Ripe Cupcakes

The girls and I are having a pizza & chic flick night. A rampage of emails usually fly back and forth a few days before because everyone’s excited to meet up.



Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

By Mable Tan • Jul 17th, 2008 • Category: Baking Projects

I’ve made this three times now because it is oh-so-good! It’s really one of the best chewy chocolate chip cookie out there and I found it on one foodie’s blog (I apologize for not including her link here as I can’t seem to find it on my bookmark).
The story behind the cookies is a little [...]



Passionfruit Cupcakes

By Mable Tan • Jul 16th, 2008 • Category: Cupcakes

Last week, I rushed out of the door and straight into Borders’. I had been dreaming of a cookbook for weeks. Yes. you could say, it was love at first page. We were separated because a barbecue was beckoning. Anyhoo, to commemorate our unity, I decided to get some passionfruits so that our relationship will [...]



Rhubarb & Mandarin Crumble

A friend of mine messaged me one fine morning: “I sprained my neck really badly and I can’t move it. Can you take care of me for a couple of days?”



Orange Poppyseed Cake

I usually give away the stuff that I make because to me, my joy lies in creating something as well as watching it being gobbled up. This time, however, it was incredibly enjoyable watching the reactions of the people who had consumed the product.
Not like it was anything nasty.
I don’t know how much poppy seed [...]

G’s brother came back from Japan after spending winter months there working in a ski resort.



Pear Tarte Tin

I love fruits. I admit I don’t have enough as I would like to but I’m getting there. I’ve also grown very fond of puff pastries. It’s incredibly useful especially on days you don’t want to cook. It’s a throw in and all and I absolutely love that idea.



Cambodia

By Mable Tan • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Travels

I love traveling. If it was a sport, I would be a Arnold Scha-whats-his-name. If it was a dish, I would get fat eating it. If it was a song, my throat would be sore singing it. Yes, I love to travel. But more than seeing different countries, smelling different degrees of air and getting [...]



Flourless Chocolate Orange Cake

By Mable Tan • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Baking Projects

As you can see, I made up for the lack of flour with the abundance of cream. G’s mom didn’t mind it but I think she was being quite kind.
Well actually, now I remember the reason behind that cloud of cream. I was baking it for Mothers’ Day for G’s mom (yes, it’s a token [...]
