Bakes of Life

Back to baking & blogging!
Realised my baking blog has been idile for the past year! I did bake quite a few times during this long break, just that I was too lazy to post. But after coming across quite a few baking blogs, which were really interesting and useful, I've decided to re-live my blog too:)

Do expect to see frequent updates and a much nicer looking blog soon!
For now, just let the pictures do the talking. These are the end products of my successful bakes...

Random gingerbread man looking products.. The one with tie is made by my coursemates using pound cake batter! I decided to make one using leftover cookie dough:) Which one looks nicer?

An attempt at baking white chocolate cake. Can't really see though, it seems like a very normal looking sponge cake...and it did taste like one too.

Choc-mint marble cake. Looks okay, just that the swirl wasn't done nicely. I tried to salvage it by cutting it into layers and adding banana in between, followed by covering the top with choc ganache. I made it for my friend as a (quite) belated cake..but still the tastewise...heh. Sorry Ruth! A better cake next time:X

This was supposed to be mac white chip cookies, but I self-modified the recipe with mix nuts and dried fruits. It was very sweet and hard, machaam eating rock sugar. o.0 Not to my liking.

The banana cake from previous post. I remembered it tasted nice, one of my more successful first attempts ;)

Oreo mint cheesecake we (with eve, and preeti) baked, for Preeti's 20th birthday. So she baked her own cake in the end...haha. And the cake turned out much better than I expected because while it was having the water bath, water leaked in through the bottom...better not use springform next time. Looks and taste great considering our 1st try! Maybe it's the power of teamwork. LOL.
I'm itching to bake already!
