Pineapple Tarts

Chinese New Year is just round the corner!!! This year, I did something I had never thought of. It is to sell my Homemade Pineapple Tarts.

It is really a big project for me as this is the 1st time I'm baking 74 tubs. Seventy-four tubs with 32 pieces each. That's 2,368 of Pineapple Tarts. Wow Wow Wow...

I do hope everyone will enjoy the Pineapple Tarts which I had made and it's to their liking. Feel free to feedback as I feel there is always room for improvement. Enjoy...

Christmas Log Cake

Christmas is all about sharing and my sister shared this recipe with me. We have been sharing our recipe for more than a year and also have been asking each other on the methods of baking. It's always nice that both of us share the same passion on baking.

Since Christmas is all about sharing, I baked 2 log cakes. One for my bestie Chrizelyn Tan and another one for my family Christmas gathering.

These log cakes are simple and not difficult to bake type. Most importantly, the ingredients are cheap. I really can't imaging a log cake is selling at a whopping $40 to $100. Ouch...

Hereby wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!!
