Coconut Munchies

Melting Moments

C's Birthday. Since she is still in high school, I think giving cookies to her and thus she can treat her other friends too would be great.

Coconut munchies are really nice beautiful cookies. Crunchy coconut cookies.

Melting moments are just mouth watering. Made up from oats.

There were at least 150 cookies all together. Again, I lost count. Beautiful cookies.

My cookies jar- my favourite

This is my favourite cookies jar. I took me quite long to find this one. It is really cute! It reminds me of the cookies jar we used to have when we were little. The cap is so cute. Dont you just fall in love with it.
It is a good cookies jar coz it is transparent, big, light, air tighted. Do you want to give it a hug?

SAD TO SAY- someone broke my cookies jar. I was very heart broken. In fact, I was even more upset coz no one bother to inform or ring me. I was told by S that my very favourite cookies jar was broken during the student welcome party. Meow Meow really really miss my cookies jar.

Till today, I still have not find another beautiful cookies jar like this.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

HAZELNUT MERINGUE CAKE
AUSTRIAN CURD CHEESECAKE
FRUIT CHIFFON CAKE- 5 LAYERS
COOKIES

Aunt Amanda's daughter, C birthday.

I had already given her the cookies as present.

They wanted to throw a birthday dinner. She did not want me to coook but prefer me to bake instead.

Aunt Meili's birthday had just passed too and I was busy with my work thus unable to celebrate for her.

Decided to do some fresh bakes for them.

Since I love fruity and nutty cakes, I decided to do some colourful bakes. I love colourful things and life should be colourful and not just grey, white and black. It will be so dull.

These bakes turned out wonderfully. Enjoy the pictures :)

Hazelnut Meringue Cake

Fresh Raspberries for fillings and decorations

This cake was wonderful. Making meringue always enquire a bit more effort. It turned out beautiful. Of course, yummy. I just could not resist.

I was very generous with the hazelnuts. Hazelnut and meringue were wonderful.

Topping with fresh big juicy raspberries simply made the cake irresistable! Gorgeous!

Austrian Curd Cheesecake

This cake is very rich in cheese. I used ricotta cheese for this cake. See, I am making effort to do some cheese related cakes though I once told you I am not a very good with cheese due to my traditional Chinese background.
Lovely moist rich cheese cake. :)

Fruit Chiffon Cake- 5 layers

Look at this Cake! For those who not into baking, let me tell you that the baking of the cakes were easy but the decorations were tricky.
Chiffon cakes need patience- lots of beating to make it fluffy. Of course, with machines - everything is made easy! Thank God for that!

The bottom cake consisted of 2 layers and the upper cake consisted of 3 layers. The total of 5 layers.
Each layer was coated with minimal fresch cream and had their specific fruits. I cannot recall the sequence of the fruit layers but they were strawberries, kiwi, mandarins, pineapple, pears.
To make it nice, it requires time and effort to first, cut these fruits, then tucked them neatly and firmly in between the layers of the cakes.

The colourful external decorations were all fresh fruits plus freshly toasted hazelnut flakes.
You can see various colourful fruits like kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries,peaches.
The top was decorated with big juicy strawberries, colourful and chocolate rice and some smarties sweet.
