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.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Juice them, make a sinfully tangy, tongue-tingling zesty Lemon Curd and bake a Lemon Meringue Tart!

Lemon Meringue always reminds me of my Science tutor (yes, growing up I had a wonderful tutor who would reward us with Lemon Meringue after class! How's that for incentive?).

Vanilla pastry shell, Lemon curd and delicate pillows of toasted Meringue. Sunshine in each bite!

This beauty is available weekends at H.I.P. Cafe in the Spring Mall, so if you have a hankering for an afternoon pick-me-up treat you know where to go! ;)
