choco-banana

how should i describe? it was like a milestone in home baking, a moment to be remembered, a sense of accomplishment...
after spendng numerous hours making the roses in different shades of pink fondant, when the cake was stacked up with the cascade, it all came to life!
in case you are wondering what's inside, the top layer is a banana cake, and the bottom layer is a chocolate cake...yummy =)

lovely meal at home, but...

on a random week night, i just feel like eating home instead of eating out which is what we usually do, while i have a simple dinner in mind, little prince had something else in mind...so this is what we had on a random tuesday evening for dinner, after he got off work at 8:30pm and bought grocery AND cook...

first course: an appetizer portion of ravioli --

main dish: sea bass with a special cream sauce on asparagus --

real yummy. i really like the special cream sauce with a hint of lemon taste, it's very refreshing in this ultra hot summer weather.

BUT...there's always a flip side, i ended up spending an hour to clean up the kitchen...here's just a glimpse of the dishes i washed...

first present

i made my first fondant-covered cake yesterday, technique is not too difficult, but the rolling and kneading takes a lot of effort. my arms were hurting crazy this morning when i got up...but it's all worth it. i'm loving it!

next week, i'm gonna make a 2-tier wedding cake...really looking forward to it...stay tuned!
