"cake season"

before the christmas season, it's "cake" season for me.  my birthday, X and Y's come one after the other before christmas trees are officially set up...

last year, i was lucky to be "surprised" with quite a number of starbucks mini chocolate cakes with super yummy ganache and gold sprinkles!  (i think these were c/o Y, thanks, thanks!).  X and Y's cakes were also chocolate (?), from red ribbon i think (?!).  i am not sure if it was X who had an additional round cake --- mango crumble something from red ribbon also (?).

anyway, since it's almost cake season, i can't help but imagine some of my favorite cakes... (and worry on the fats and calories, haha! -- hide from X's calorie counter!)

dream cake

Wanna have a taste of any of these? 


These are cakes dahlings! Masterful creations of Ms. Penk Ching-Tan. I was browsing Yahoo Philippines earlier and an article about her caught my attention. Ang galing! Iba talaga ang Pinoy!

According to the article, Ms. Penk Ching-Tan started baking for her friends after she retired. Maybe I should rethink my career path. I will re-start baking this weekend with DS, or next week kaya.

 My earliest "masterpiece" is corn muffins topped with cashew nuts (pic below was months ago).


Z said, they look like cookies!
