Zucchini-Parmesan Loaf

This zucchini-parmesan loaf I baked on March 28 is still moist and yummy as of April 2.

The recipe can be found here at Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper, which I think worked out pretty well.

Mango Pound Cake

Sunday. My day off. I was hoping for another beautiful day but the weather decided to ignore me :( *boooo* Craving for sunshine, I made something sunshiny in terms of colour and flavour.

The original recipe can be found here. I substituted orange juice with mango pulp and omitted orange zest. Ingredient ratio for the glaze had to be changed a bit because I was running out of icing sugar...

Happy Pi Day

March 14 is Pi Day. I am no math enthusiast but decided to celebrate it anyway by making a mini coconut cream pi(e)!

Garnished with the rum-flavoured whipped cream and a milk chocolate pi symbol.

Mango Mousse Cake & Egg Tart

There was a get-together at The T Family's. I knew we're having a Chinese dinner, so I decided to make something along the same line... You say Chinese desserts? I say mango pudding & egg tarts!

Instead of pudding, I went for a mousse cake.

Mango mousse, topped with mango jelly, nestled in sponge fingers. I used a canned mango pulp for both mousse and jelly. 850g for only $2! Yay, Walmart! :D

My fave dim sum: egg tart. When at a dim sum restaurant, I have to grab a plate (or two sometimes) of egg tarts as soon as I see them even before my actual meal starts... Here I cheated with store-bought tart shells *gasp* Sprinkled with cinnamon à la English custard tart or South African Melktert.

Olympic Cupcakes

On my day off today, I had a quite strong (almost uncontrollable for some reason) craving for cupcakes. So I made some.

Watching the Olympics almost all day made me do this: 5 M&M'S to represent Olympic rings - they are not interlocking like they should, but they will be completely together later in my tummy. Maple leaf and Hinomaru are cut-outs of Fruit To Go.
