I’ve been so busy posting potato recipes that I almost forgotten it’s my turn to host The Home Bakers! Thank you for the reminder Joyce! What is The Home Bakers? We are a group of home bakers who share the same passion in baking and we love collecting cookbooks! At THB, we bake from one…

THB #35: Almond Streusel Baileys Cake
Realised I’ve been posting lots of savoury food these days, so let’s take a break and head over to desserts first! This is another overdue The Home Bakers bake (sorry for the delay!), chosen by Mich from Piece of Cake. This bake is very similar to other THB bakes, whereby a streusel topping is topped…
THB #34: White Chocolate Almond Souffle Cake
Blogging is like running – once you lose the momentum, it can be real hard to start again. I have been taking such a long break from blogging that sometimes I just don’t know how and where to start. Many a times I sit in front of my laptop wanting to type a post, but…
THB #33: Holiday Berry-Nut Cake
Where did all the time go?! This is probably my longest break I’ve ever taken from blogging – and it’s not because I’m away on a holiday or something (well, I was away on a holiday for a short while…) work has been swamping like crazy that whenever I sat down in front of my…
THB #32: Blueberry-Almond Coffee Cake
Time for the The Home Bakers event again! All these baking/cooking events are what keep me going despite the busy schedule – it really motivates me to not neglect my blog too much! And it’s also motivating me to hit the gym / yoga studio more often… a moment on your lips, forever on your…
THB #31: Rosemary Pull-Apart Focaccia
I’m supposed to blog about this bake 2 weeks ago for The Home Bakers… but somehow time just flew by… The Home Bakers is an event organised by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours, in which all of us will bake all the recipes in a chosen book – Coffee Cakes by Lou Seibert Pappas. This time…
THB #30: Chocolate Walnut Coffee Cake
Been a really long time since I last blogged, pardon the absence! Managed to sneak some time amidst all the overtime (work) to blog this simple and delicious cake! This is a bake that you most likely won’t find in cafés – purely because it doesn’t look as pretty as those that are frosted or…
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…
THB #28: Greek Almond-Crusted Citrus Rolls
Christmas is just around the corner and I had just finished planning what I want to bake for the upcoming Christmas parties and giveaways! (Still left with the savoury meals though…) Hopefully I will remember to take photos of them and post on my Instagram! (Follow me @foodiebaker if you haven’t!) This bake was chosen…
THB #27: Sticky Caramel Pinwheel Bread
It’s my turn to host The Home Bakers! Can you believe how time flies? We are already on the 27th recipe, almost halfway there (total 30 recipes)! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to update the blog earlier, been really busy these few days, and all I want to do when I reach home is to…
Raisin-Oatmeal-Peanut Muffins with Peanut Butter Swirl
Yay I’m on time for The Home Bakers this time round! This bake is chosen by Kit from I-Lost in Austen and it features a delicious cake/muffin that has no butter, low in sugar, filled with hearty oats and does not require a mixer to make. How awesome is that? As I don’t have any…
THB #25: Italian Cheese and Herb Pinwheels
It’s time for another belated THB bake! Even though the title of the recipe book we are baking from is known as Coffee Cakes, most of the cakes don’t contain coffee and some of them are actually bread, just like this one! This bake is chosen by Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids and it…
THB #24: Peach-Almond Coffee Cake
It’s time for a belated Home Bakers again… oops! Sorry for the delay! I baked this cake twice as I wasn’t very happy with the first attempt, hence missing the dateline for this bake. This time, we are baking a very simple peach butter cake, chosen by Chaya from Bizzy Bakes – I really love…
THB #23: Morning Glory Breakfast Cake
I’m quite late to post this bake, lucky the dateline is still not over yet! The bake this time round is chosen by Lena from Frozen Wings, and this is such a healthy bake! This is definitely not a difficult cake to bake – the toughest is probably the grating of carrot and apple! If…
THB #22: Cheddar Brioche Braid
It’s another bread baking session! In the past I have never thought of baking bread because all the kneading, rising and shaping all sounded too daunting to me. But, luckily for YouTube, I’m gradually getting the hang of bread baking and it’s getting fun! This bake is actually for The Home Bakers, and we are…
THB #21: Pear Caramel Streusel Cake
I’m really thankful that The Home Bakers event has such a long duration for us to post the recipe, otherwise I would have missed this bake! Sorry for the very plain styling of photos… I usually like to bake on Saturdays so that I will have plenty of time to style and shoot them on…
THB#20: Raisin-Almond-Orange Coffee Cake
We are reaching the end of June! Half of 2013 is going to be gone soon, how is everyone’s year so far? Last week Singapore was hit by a severe haze problem and I’m glad that the haze has cleared up pretty much now. Now I just hope the haze would clear up in other…
THB #19: Lemon-Glazed Buttermilk Cake and a SNAPWARE Surprise!
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! This time the cake was chosen by Grace from Life Can Be Simple. The cake is mixed together without the use of a mixer (hooray!) and without the use of butter (oil is the fat here). Oil-based cakes are moist and tender, and this cake is no exception!…
The Home Bakers#18: Blueberry Almond Cake
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! This is supposed to be a marionberry (a type of blackberry) filled cake made with ground hazelnut, chosen by Janis of The Kitchen is my Shrink. Because blackberries are crazily expensive here, I substituted them with blueberries and decided to swap the hazelnut for almond as I already…
The Home Bakers #16: Black Tea-Lemon Cornmeal Cupcakes
After getting my cornmeal last week, I finally attempted the Rosemary-Lemon Polenta Cake, chosen by Angela of The Charmed Cupcake. I scaled the recipe down and baked only 1/4 of the cake and ended up with 6 muffins/cupcakes. Unfortunately, no one in the family liked the taste of rosemary in the cake. I have to…
The Home Bakers #17 – Essence of Orange Chocolate Cake
Smile! Time really flies, it’s time for another Home Bakers! I have missed the previous one because I kept forgetting to search for polenta. I finally bought a small packet of it today so I will be attempting the bake this weekend 🙂 There are 9 days left to that bake so if you want…
The Home Bakers #15: Orange Sponge Cake
Sponge cakes… I definitely have the longest and strongest love-hate relationships with them. They’re not like macarons – macarons already have that level of difficulty there, so it’s kind of expected to not get them right the first time. On the other hand, sponge cakes look so easy to bake, don’t they? Just beat everything…
The Home Bakers #14: Chocolate Streusel-Ribboned Cupcakes
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! Gosh, time really flies, it just seemed to me that the previous Home Bakers was only days away! I am gonna keep this post really short and sweet – the host this time is Louanne from Louanne’s Kitchen, and she had picked a very lovely butter cake recipe…
The Home Bakers #13: Dark Chocolate-Almond Cake
Want a slice? I took a short break last weekend – no baking, no cooking and no blogging (hence sorry for the lack of blogposts and no replies on the comments…) But now I’ve re-charged and am back, hopefully I’ll be able to clear my backlog of recipes and travel posts soon. 😉 I am…
The Home Bakers #12: Apple-Walnut-Blueberry Mosaic Muffins
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! I know I’ve said it a lot of times, so I’m going to spare you guys the agony of reading all about it again. 😉 But, just in case you’re wondering what’s The Home Bakers, do hop over here for an introduction and on how to participate in…
The Home Bakers #11: Banana, Macadamia, Coconut and Cinnamon Muffins
It’s our 11th bake for The Home Bakers! Started by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours, The Home Bakers are a group of home bakers who aimed to complete baking all recipes in a chosen cookbook. If you’d like to join us, do find out more about us here: About the Home Bakers. We are currently baking…
The Home Bakers #10: Danish Chocolate Swirl Coffee Bread
This is probably by-far the most challenging bake for The Home Bakers and second most challenging bakes I’ve ever encountered (the first would still belong to these macarons – I had failed at least 5 times baking them…) To be honest, I almost wanted to give up baking it – I’ve tried it twice and…
