Hello Kitty Cookies

Making my favourite Hello Kitty cookies had always in one of my To-Do list item and finally I made it!. I used one of my butter cookies recipe and added coloring for the red ribbons and yellow nose while I used melted converture chocolate to color the eyes and whiskers.  I am so delighted to see the finished cookies. 

French Toast

After making Fried Sardine Bread Puff, I was left with all the bread skins. So I decided to cut them up into cubes and added beaten eggs with sugar to make them into French Toast. I baked them till golden brown and topped with blueberry fillings or syrup. Great for breakfast as it is fast and easy to make, most importantly no waste at all.

Fried Bread Sardine Puff

I bought the curry puff mould and tried making curry puff but failed as the pastry always tore off easily. I came across this method using bread to make curry puff, however I did not have the ingredients so I used sardine instead. The moulding was so easy and surprisingly it tasted so crispy and yummy! Will definitely try to use it to make curry puff one day.

Step 1

Ingredients

1 can sardine
Chilli Sauce
Tomato Sauce
1 onion (chopped)

15 slices of bread (cut off the sides)

Step 2

Oil for frying

Directions

1. Cooked sardine with onion, chilli sauce and tomato sauce.
2. Press bread with rolling pin and place bread on mould. Scoop some sardine onto bread (Step 1) and press bread (Step 2). Cut off excess bread that protrude the mould.
3. Heat up a pot of oil and fry till golden brown. Drain off excess oil.

Old Times Slice Cakes

After making the Rosy Birthday cake for my elder daughter, I was left with half packet of whipping cream. Since I needed to clear it soon, I decided to make these Old Times Slice Cakes that I love to eat during my childhood days. Making these cakes needed a bit of time and patience - I baked 2 square sponge cakes and sandwiched with whipping cream. It was also a little tricky to slice it as the cream will squeeze out so the best is to put the cake into the fridge before slicing. I just love the beautiful and taste of these Old Times Slice Cakes so much!

Butter Cake

I have tried a few butter cake recipes but this the best I have ever baked. Thanks to The Domestic Goddess Wannabe.
