White Chocolate Cake with Apricot Buttercream

A dear friend of mine wanted something different for her son's birthday and I suggested 'White Chocolate Cake with Apricot Buttercream'. It's sophisticated enough for the adults and the kids, as most kids do, would love the creamy white chocolate icing. This is a three-layered cake with generous servings of apricot slices in rich vanilla buttercream. The outer icing is pure white chocolate, making this cake suitable for any special events.

Orange and Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

I made this cake for a dear friend's wedding anniversary lunch. It's heavenly with a distinct orange scent and crunchy poppy seeds. The cake is moist and buttery, and I just love the bundt shape that allowed it to be decorated simply with dark and orange chocolate.

Farewell soon to 2010!

Gosh! It's been ages since I last submitted any post to my dearest BakeScapes blog. It's been a challenging couple of months. My hubby lost his Mom to old age and my stepfather passed away within the same week from cardiac complication. Life certainly has thrown its loop...a rather large one, I may add. We also experienced another loss closer to home and our heart. Well, I've been told many times over the length of my lifetime that 'what doesn't kill you, make you stronger'. We will see, won't we?


Anyway, we are thankful for many things in our life and for me personally, my lovely kitchen remains a sanctuary. And I am glad that my friends and family continue to make me busy with orders upon orders. I continue to learn to be better at baking and hope to gain more knowledge as the New Year looms.


So, here's an early farewell to 2010. You shall not be forgotten.

Double Choc Chip Cookies with White Choc Nibs and Almond

Okay...the name is kind of long but if you're looking for a totally rich, chewy choc chip cookies, this is it! This is great with a glass of cold milk or dunk into hot chocolate drink. It can even rival the other 'famous' cookies. Around 2 inches wide, these are cookies for the fanatics.


Want to try? These are sold in batches of 30 pieces because they are just totally huge. Drop me a line at hanim27@hotmail.com.


Blueberry Surprise!

This is another type of cheese tart. The difference is that the blueberry is on the inside and there's more of them! I called these jewels 'Blueberry Surprise!". It's definitely richer because the tart shell itself is made using cream cheese. Talk about decadent. Made this batch for my brother and friends with tiny roses as decoration.
