Christmas is around the corner!

Where has the year gone?? A very late post, I've been neglecting this blog haven't I?

It's been a busy week, prepping Gingerbread for the weekend's SSPCA Christmas Charity Bazaar; introducing a new item to the dessert menu at H.I.P. Cafe along with my regular bakes for other cafes.

December Special at HIP Cafe, the Apple Almond Frangipane- Slices of Granny Smith apples, a rich Almond filling, and caramelised Cinnamon Sugar. Absolutely comforting served with Vanilla ice cream!

An all-time favourite, the Lemon Meringue, also available at HIP.

(Changing up the meringue piping for some variety)

Soft Honey Gingerbread for the SSPCA Sale. All proceeds go towards the Animal Shelter so send those fur babies some love and buy a Gingerbread Boy (or Tree) ;D

And finally, a photo from a few weeks back: The White Rajah! Artwork by local artist Daphne Siaw, printed onto edible sheet and attached onto a fondant covered Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate frosting.

Full Moon Party

Some goodies that I whipped up for my niece's full moon party. Pity she's too young to enjoy any of it!

My New House

If only it were possible to live in a Gingerbread House....

As a child, picking out a gingerbread house to bring home was the highlight of the festive season for me (second only to tearing it apart on Xmas morning and inhaling it).

I had a lot of fun creating these Gingerbread Cabins :)

Birthday Butterflies

30 Gingerbread Butterflies for a 30th Birthday :) Not sure which i enjoyed more, the smell of fresh roses or of cinammon spices...
