Hello everyone! (And hello blog! Sorry for neglecting you for quite some time!) Taking step-by-step photos in the kitchen these days is getting a bit difficult because the driver for the LED lights that lit up my countertop exploded blew recently. Not to mention my camera’s a little cranky too – it’s not able to…

One-Bowl Mint Chocolate Cupcakes (With Chocolate-Mint Swiss Meringue Frosting)
Chocolate can never go wrong for desserts. But chocolate and mint? That’s a double winner right there. I’ve always loved mint chocolate (you know those After Eight and Andes chocolate mint thins? I used to devour lots at one go, regardless of the time of the day haha). Funny though, I seldom baked any chocolate and…
Blueberry Cheesecake
I baked this cheesecake sometime last year and posted the recipe only on Instagram. Since then, I’ve been wanting to rebake this for the blog and only managed to do so a few weeks back when I needed to clear my refrigerator for this 3-week holiday – I think I’ve never seen my refrigerator so empty before! Technically…
Pandan-Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting + Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!
A fragrant and moist pandan-coconut cake filled and frosted with a delicious and creamy cream cheese frosting, with the sides covered with toasted dessicated coconut and the top decorated into the flag of the country that I grew up in – my way of wishing Singapore a happy 50th birthday!
Sweet Potato Mini Cakes
I bought a few sweet potatoes last month to make green bean soup and ended up with one lonely sweet potato at the end. This lonely one sat in the pantry for quite some time before I decided that it’s high time to use it. So while browsing through the Cake Keepers Cake, I found a sweet…
Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake
And here is the last installment of the Cheesecake series (here’s the first and second one)! You have perhaps seen this cheesecake on my Instagram, when I brought this cheesecake to office for my colleagues. One of my colleagues requested for an Oreo cheesecake, but because I’ve already made one before, I decided to adapt…
THB #29: Dark Chocolate Cheesecake + Corelle Cherish & Snapware Eco Flow Review
Time for The Home Bakers again! This time we are making a lovely chocolate cheesecake, chosen by MiMi Bakery House. This is one of my favourite bakes though I deviated from the original recipe quite significantly – this is originally a white chocolate cheesecake! But after siezing two batches of white chocolate over the double…
Jamie Oliver’s Quick and Easy Chicken Pie
This is an easy and a little bit cheater-bug recipe from Jamie Oliver. In his old series, I remember Jamie liked to make more fancy food that required harder-to-obtain ingredients and tougher skills. Now, in a bid to encourage people to eat healthily, Jamie started the Food Revolution series, and one of them includes this…
The Home Bakers #6: Mocha-Cappucino (Vietnam Coffee) Marbled Coffee Cake
Our next bake is a lovely Mocha-Cappucino Swirled Cake chosen by lovely Lena from Her Frozen Wings. Sorry for the lack of photos of the finished product as I had friends over that day and didn’t have time to do a proper table setting for this glorious and delicious cake… I really love coffee and…
Strawberry Oatmeal Brown Sugar Cupcakes
The Bake-Along this week is supposed to be a Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cake by Cake Keeper Cakes… but I made several changes and it turned out to be a totally different cake – a Strawberry Oatmeal Brown Sugar Cupcake – but they still tasted pretty not bad (thankfully)! There were several ideas I had…
Oreo Oreo Cheesecake
I have officially graduated and am now starting on my full-time job! It’s kind of scary, thinking about it, but so far so good! But of course, being on a full-time job, I’ll have less time to bake/cook… and blog… but luckily there’s 2 public holidays this month, hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze some…
Coffee, Chocolate and Raisins Muffins
I tweaked the recipe of my blueberry muffins to make some coffee, chocolate and raisins muffins. When the muffins were baking, the strong aroma of the coffee filled the whole house and it’s such a pleasant smell. The coffee taste in the muffins itself is very subtle, but I like it this way. Uber-coffee lovers,…
Perfect-Oh-Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Muffins are my new found favourites! Muffins are cup-shaped (and cute!) bread and are often served hot. Muffin is a term connected with “moufflet”, which means soft, and is it’s an old French word used to describe bread. Typically there are two types of muffins – American and English. American muffins are more common here…
Strawberry Shortcake… Cake… Cupcake?
Are there times when you saw/read/heard a dish that makes you crave for it so much that you’re just dying to whip it up right then and now but you can’t because you don’t have the ingredients at hand and can only get them tomorrow? And you know that you have to make them tomorrow…
Double Cheesecakes Attack!
Finally! I’ve baked my first cheesecake! When I was younger, I disliked cheesecake – totally. It was so overwhelming creamy and cheesy and I often wondered, “Why in the world people pay so much money to eat such a small slice of cheese??!! Plus the size of the cake is so SO much smaller than…
Sour-cream Biscuits with Strawberries
From the cook book, it says Easiest-ever Biscuits and Berries. i’ve decided to rename it a little and called it Sour-cream Biscuits with Strawberries. the only ingredients required in this recipe is just equal parts of sour cream (or you can use crème fraîche) and self-raising flour, strawberries and some sugar. no beating/whipping required, hence…
